That sounds like it might work, but I'm interested in doing it The Right
Way. :) This kind of error needs to be fixed instead of worked around.
There doesn't seem to be an existing PR for this, think I should send
one?

P.S. The system appears to boot fine even if the smb share isn't
available. It just skips mounting it whilst burping up a few error
messages.

P.P.S. Thanks!
