Fedora 26 - autofs SMB v3

Install required packages:

sudo dnf -y install autofs samba-client samba-common

Set some variables:

nashostname=<nashostname>
nasshare=<nassharename>
localmount="${HOME}/${nashostname}"

Create mount point:
```
mkdir ${localmount}
```

Configure autofs:

# Add master map
sudo tee /etc/auto.master.d/${nashostname}.autofs <<EOF
${localmount}    /etc/auto.${nashostname}    --timeout=600 --ghost
EOF

# Add autofs map (append)
sudo tee -a /etc/auto.${nashostname} <<EOF
${nasshare}    -fstype=cifs,rw,noperm,vers=3.0,credentials=/etc/.smbcred.txt   ://${nashostname}/${nasshare}
EOF

Configure credentials for auto mounting. Be careful when storing credentials in plain text.

sudo vi /etc/.smbcred.txt 

username=value
password=value
domain=value

sudo chown root:root /etc/.smbcred.txt
sudo chmod 600 /etc/.smbcred.txt

Enable and start autofs:
```
sudo systemctl enable autofs --now
```
