 Managing mount points of local or network volumes can also be managed in Hiera.

+First we show more generic features which mount a given set of network drives.
+More below is documented how individual mounts can be created or removed.
+
+
+## Access same Network Drives as Windows
+
+Linux can be made to mount a users usual network drives the same way as Windows.
+The mountpoints can be found in `~/network-drives`. 
+The `U:`-drive is there named `home`, while the rest keeps their original share name.
+
+
+This feature is controlled in Hiera with
+
+```
+user_session::mount_cifs_shares: true
+``` 
+
+These mounts are created on the first user session created and will end with the last session closed.
+If for some reason they are not created (e.g. due to offline login), you might execute `/opt/pli/bin/create-network-drive-links` to bring them back in again.
+
+Note this does not work for RHEL7.
