Salutes NC fellows!
Today I’ve been trying to mount my files directory through webDAV but got faced an annoying issue. Reading this documentation and doing the step-by-step, I could mount my directory properly during the configuration, but there was a problem when the systemd tried to automount the directory during the boot such that the system couldn’t start.
Here is the boot logging related to the problem:
Mar 03 23:15:05 pc mount.davfs[531]: davfs2 1.5.2
Mar 03 23:15:05 pc mount[528]: Please enter the username to authenticate with server
Mar 03 23:15:05 pc mount[528]: localhost/remote.php/dav/files/evandro/ or hit enter for none.
Mar 03 23:15:05 pc mount[528]: Username:

Mar 03 23:15:05 pc systemd[1]: home-evandro-nextcloud.mount: Unit entered failed state.
It looks like the system is asking for authentication, but, as stated in documentation, wouldn’t this be done automatically as specified at the ~/.davfs2/secrets config file?
Using:
Nextcloud 11.0.1
Ubuntu 16.04.02
Every help is welcome, a lot =)
