    Hello, with Debian Buster & Bullseye my bookmark stop working when the ip lease changes the next day.

    My router does offer dnsmasq for hostname advertising using dns or netbios using nmbd. testparm on my debian desktop tells me my name lookup is configured like this:

    name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins
    

    Is the ip value stored in the bookmark always used and the unc //hostname value ignored?

      The UNC as well as the IP address are used when they are available.

      Obviously, the mount command is confused when the IP address changed and does not mount the share anymore. Maybe I should make it configurable that the IP address is stored in the custom options and bookmarks...
