I’m not sure that this is significantly different from the @parkerc version, and I haven’t been able to test the retry mode (since it always works first time!)

local function df ()
  local info
  local p = io.popen ("df",'r')
  if p then info = p:read "*a"; p:close () end
  return info
end

function cifsmount (x)
  local function log (msg) luup.log (("cifsmount: '%s' %s"): format (x.device or '?', msg)) end
  local df = df ()
  if df: find (x.device, 1, true) then
    log "already mounted"
  else
    local cmd = ("mount -t cifs -o user=%s,pass=%s,nounix,noserverino %s %s"): format (x.user, x.pass, x.device, x.directory)
    local ok, term, status = os.execute (cmd)
    log ("mounted status: "..tostring(status)) 
    if ok 
      then log ("mounted OK: "..tostring(ok)) 
      elseif x.retry then luup.call_delay ("cifsmount", 60 * x.retry)
      else log "failed to mount" 
    end
  end
end


local device = "//172.16.42.100/DATAMINE"
local directory = "/dataMine"
local user = "XXX"
local pass = "xxxxxxxxxxx"

-- optional retry gives interval in minutes to retry failed mount attempt
cifsmount {user=user, pass=pass, device=device, directory=directory, retry=30}
