Description

My setup hat two MiSTer's and a storage containing all stuff needed for emulation which I'm binding by cifs_mount.sh. I was tired to go back and forth through my house to turn on the storage, depending which MiSTer I'm going to use, so I've patched the cifs_mount.sh with a some-liner, which wakes up my storage by using wake on lan (WOL) using MiSTer's household remedy only.

Feel free to use, adapt und implement.
cifs_mount.sh.patch.gz

Research direction

Review cifs_mount.sh and the attached cifs_mount.sh.patch.gz first to understand the proposed wake-on-LAN change. Apply the behavior to the script, then test that the storage wakes and the CIFS mount succeeds when used from a MiSTer.
