RE: Sledgehammer?

An old UN*X tip: Not necessarily easier per say, but since automount is installed and the daemon running by default, you could just put in your NFS mounts into the /etc/fstab.hd(?) Then once you actually attempt to visit that mount point, automount, well mounts it. man on automount for more info.

The fstab option afforded me a serious hang during boot time if the server was down, or if NFS was not running. This seemed to be the best way to get teh results I wanted with the flexibility I required. the startup script idea seems doable, but I would have to run a umount, and then edit the script, and then run the script again to move a mountpoint.
