[Blind-sysadmins] Mounting a Networked Drive on Debin 11 or 12

I'm just about to upgrade to Debian 12, but if I could get this answered for 11, especially if it's the same on 12, I'd be happy. I used to do this on Debian 8, but apparently things have changed. No surprise there, but I can't figure out from research exactly what the change is. The following line in /etc/fstab worked on Debian 8: //192.168.1.156/BigVol1 /mnt/bigvol1 cifs _netdev,username=<the-username>,password=<the-password>,ro 0 0 After a reboot, the directory /mnt/bigvol1 is there, but not the resource to which it points. Should I be using cifs-utils and using its fstab syntax?
