Hello everybody,

I currently have several NFS mounts to share my media between my
PVR, my workstation, and my neighbour's workstation downstairs.

The problem is, a lot of the time the mounts are not loaded on boot
for some reason or another (eg; in the case of a power outage, all computers
come back up at the same time, but they don't all take the same amount of
time to boot... so one will try to mount the NFS shares before the other is
serving them, etc.)

Something like AFS might help solve that problem. However, it is
complex, requires a working Kerberos setup on your network and can be
more difficult to administer. So, unless you are ready to handle all
that, I'd go with the autofs suggestions offered by others.

Regards,

-Roberto
