Trouble is two fold. during boot up, if the automount process finds one
computer that does not exist, it times out and seems to give up on mounting
any of the rest of the computers in the list. I would like to get around
this without having to endure a long timeout for each failed mount attempt
also so that the boot up process can be accomplished in a reasonable amount
of time.


Marc:
1st: What Kai said.
This is why people invented servers, the ad-hoc network structure
just does not work well.


2nd: Assuming you have been forced into this and can't get around it,
look at man mount
and see if the -F parameter might speed the process. You will still
get the wait, but only one wait, as all mounts will be done in
parallel.

You might also be able to foist the "hotplug" option with the -o option.
