Hey guys,
I'm playing with a common database setup between all my XBMC clients by using mysql. So far I think I got it working correctly, but I'd really like my thumbnails to remain in synch as well.
My server is running unRAID with mysql installed. I also have a copy of the Thumbnails folder set up in a share. My main HTPC is running on OS X and is successfully configured to use the mysql database for library information and thumbnails are symlinked to the SMB share. Everything is humming along perfectly.
I have another client running Ubuntu. It connects to mysql just fine but I'm having trouble creating a permanent symlink to Thumbnails.

- I've tried creating an /etc/fstab entry but I noticed it tries to mount to the share before the wireless network is established.
- I've tried creating a mount command on ~/.bash_login but it doesn't allow me to mount the share as a user, so it fails.
- If I mount the share manually, the symlink to the mount point comes to life and everything works oh so well. But I would prefer an automated approach.
Help a Ubuntu n00b out? Or is there a better approach?- I've tried creating a mount command on ~/.bash_login but it doesn't allow me to mount the share as a user, so it fails.
