Problem mounting network shares at boot

[David Bentley]

Problem mounting network shares at boot.

The following is an extract from fstab

//terastation/music    /home/ianp/music    smbfs   
username=ianp,password=secret,uid=ianp,gid=ianp 0 0

which works Ok on an FC4 machine but fails on a fully
updated FC5TEST3
machine.

If you watch while the machine boots you see 'unknown
file format smbfs'

and if you try to use the mount command you see a
similar message but the
share can be connected to from nautilus (smb://
etc...) so it is available.

Has the mount syntax changed in FC5 or is this
supported in a different way
in FC5
