Mounting an SMB share only when used

[David Lecompte <david@metani.eu>]

Dear Guix,

On other distros (Trisquel, Parabola), I use autofs to mount SMB shares when
the user tries to access the directory where the share is to be mounted.

I prefer this over mounting something via the file manager of a DE because I
want to access the files in command line, not only via the file manager.

I prefer this over something always mounted because this can be on a laptop
not in the network where the SMB share is, so this would not work.

What would be a suitable way for GuixSD?

I see there is an autofs package, is it functional? Will a daemon be started
for it or is there another way? Also, which files do I need to configure (I
used to configure /etc/auto.master indicating a mount starting point and a
file that lists the SMB shares and mount option)?

Or is there another method?

Thanks for any hint.

David.
