I have a RHEL 7 server with this line in /etc/fstab:

\\10.0.0.1\backup /mnt/backup cifs user,uid=500,rw,suid,username=admin,password=password 0 0

It is exact same line that I am using on other CentOS 6 and RHEL 6 servers, but on this single RHEL 7 box it seems I need to connect and run mount -a after every reboot?

Is some way to solve this automatically?

Use the _netdev and auto mount options to ensure that the mount happens at boot and won't be attempted before network is up and running.

man mount

_netdev 

The filesystem resides on a device that requires network access (used to prevent the
system from attempting to mount these filesystems until the network has been enabled 
on the system).  
  ....

auto

Can be mounted with the -a option.
