The Great Shared Directory Dilemma

smbfs is deprecated and should not be used.  Its replacement is cifs.  Like
so:

mount -t cifs //BORG/SHARE /mnt/borg -o domain=WORKGROUP,user=JOEBOB

...will find the share SHARE on the machine BORG and attempt to mount it on
mountpoint /mnt/borg using the user JOEBOB from domain WORKGROUP.  It'll ask
you for a password if one's required.  You may be able to leave the domain=
off if your 'Doze network doesn't use domains.

IME, NFS is faster than Samba, which may be something to think about.
