I have a service that pings the server:

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/ping-smb.service [Unit] Description=Blocks until pinging 192.168.1.10 succeeds After=network-online.target StartLimitIntervalSec=0 [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=ping -c1 192.168.1.10 Restart=on-failure RestartSec=1 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target EOF sudo systemctl enable ping-smb.service

And then I make the fstab entry depend on it:

x-systemd.requires=ping-smb.service

I had something similar when I used to mount an NFS share. I had a bash line that would loop ping and then mount once ping succeeds. Having a separate service that pings and making the mount dependent on it is probably the better thing to do. Should also work when put in Requires= in a .mount file.
