    This is what autofs is for. Instead of hardmounting everything
    and risk having your machine hang when a filesystem goes unavailable
    it only mounts the filesystem when you are using it.

    Set up a automount pointing to an indirect map in your /etc/auto.master:

    /sambashares /etc/auto.samba

    Then setup an indirect map (like /etc/auto.samba)
    someshare -rw,fstype=smbfs,credentials=credentialsfile ://server/share

    Then restart/reload autofs service autofs reload|restart.

    Your mount point won't be visible until it's actually used, so do
    "ls /sambashares/someshare" to verify that it works.
