That's right. The N8x0 doesn't connect to the network upon boot like most Linux distributions, so you can't mount network shares on boot. Theoretically, you should be able to put your mount statements into /etc/fstab as "no auto" and then mount them once you connect to the network, but I can't test that since "regular" mount doesn't work for me.

No, the File Manager does its own thing. The mounted shares, if placed in folders that the File Manager can see, will show as regular folders in the File Manager, but everything else should function as before.

Mounting a network share to a folder is already kind of like a symlink, in that it is a remote share appearing as a local folder. In your examples, it looks like you are trying to use "ln -s" as a kind of mount command.
