If you don't actually need the remote file systems for the boot process
itself, then systemd has an option to automount fstab entries when
first needed. This can cut down boot time. Include:
noauto
and
x-systemd.automount
among the options. I have my workstation's cifs mounts set up that way,
and there's no perceptible delay in opening one for the first time.
They stay mounted then until shutdown. It works for local drives as
well, but they're less of a problem.
