I have a wait-for-ping service that pings nas A, once it gets a successful response it tries to mount.
I lifted it from a time when I needed to ping my router because Debian had a network-online service bug. I adapted it to my nas because the network-online issue eventually got fixed and mounting my shares became the next biggest issue.
It seems like this person might have grabbed that same fix for what I eventually did because our files are…oddly almost exactly the same.
Do you mean a hang on boot when trying to mount? For that I use the nofail option in fstab. I also use the x-systemd.automount option so if something is not mounted for whatever reason, it tries to mount it when something attempts to access it.
That’s all handled with adding the x-systemd.automount option to my fstab entry. If it disconnects it’s unmounted, when it’s available again it mounts when something tries to access it.
I have occasionally needed to restart some services if they didn’t like getting disconnected, but as far as mounting goes it’s handled pretty smoothly with that option.

thanks!
do you perhaps also have a solution for hanging accesses to network mounts when the server is inaccessible?
