Thanks a lot DBMandrake for the very detailed answer, for the time being, I plan to mount my main hard drive in /etc/fstab (under /mnt, with the x-systemd.automount and noauto options as instructed).
Since I’m not the only one bothered by the way this is currently handled, would you consider, DBMandrake, making this feature evolve thus allowing every Samba user to benefit from it, and preventing future updates from broking it ?
I don’t know how hard it would be or how many lines of codes it represents, but that’d be SUPER great !
Thanks
