What I do want though, is to ensure that these mounts would survive

kid, so I cannot expect him to do any system maintenance yet).
So...
1) How to detect when a samba mount is stale.
2) Is there some system flag to automatically remount the shared
drives, or do I just need to write a little "stale detection and
remounting" script? What is the right way to do it?
I'm surprised nobody has suggested automount. It won't necessarily
detect a stale mount, but it will timeout a mount (so that it won't be
affected if the mount is not needed when the server reboots), and will
automatically mount when a request is made for the automount point. It
works great in my NFS setup, but it's not fstype-specific (it can do
local mounts as well as network mounts).
