I am sick of always having to google for the process of adding a drive to the fstab using text editor.Is there a way to add say a CIFS samba share to the fstab with a Ubuntu GUI? Like Windows' map network path functionality. 
Can you add entries to fstab with a GUI in ubuntu?

On ubuntu you can edit your fstab using the gnome-disk-utility . from the terminal run gnome-disks or type Disks from the dash . Select the disk then the partition, from the option select Edit Mount Options.
