Android Central Question

Hi guys.

I have a Droid Turbo 2 and I need to mount a CIFS/samba share, but I need to mount it at the kernel level so all apps on the phone have access to it. Plenty of file managers can access CIFS shares, but I need something that will pass it onto other apps. For now, a time lapse app, and in the future, others. I need essentially unlimited storage on the phone, something my server can provide but the SD card slot cannot!

Any ideas on how to mount a CIFS share at boot, for all apps, like /etc/fstab on a traditional linux system?

Thanks.

Welcome to the forums. Offhand, I would have thought mounting the CIFS to the kernel would have been unallowed. I could very well be wrong with what I'm about to say, but the reasoning is if that were possible, you then can have a virus or trojan having direct access to the kernel. Not something I would want personally.
