I have updated Windows 10 and installed the new bash on windows.

However on both PC's I have tried I am unable to mount a network share.

I've tried many different ways to mount the share:

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=xx,password=xx //192.168.x.x/Share /mnt/s

When running the above command it looks like it has worked, no errors (even with the --verbose option) However going to /mnt/s shows nothing and mount shows: //192.168.x.x/Share on /mnt/s type cifs (rw).

I am able to browse all the files/folders on the share using smbclient

WSL has been under heavy development and it now supports mounting network shared folders:

sudo mkdir /mnt/s
sudo mount -t drvfs '\\192.168.x.x\Share' /mnt/s
cd /mnt/s
git init

I'm actually answering your comment here:

I'm looking for a solution or workaround to the issue (such as another program) that will allow me to run git inside a folder on the share.

Use Cygwin:

net use V: \\\\192.168.x.x\\Share
cd /cygdrive/v
git init

Or cmder:

net use V: \\192.168.x.x\Share
V:
git init

Or git-scm.

I used:

sudo mount -t drvfs \\path\to\server\share /mnt/u

Where /mnt/u had already been created.

Since I log connect to bash with my domain credentials, no need for adding creds nanoto command. Read and write works with my permissions.

Now to get it to mount using fstab...
