Well, I would prefer that but my network is 100% reliable so nfs
and/or the various machines sometimes go down. This tends to leave nfs
with a stale mount -- so it looks like it's mounted but it really
isn't accessible. I wrote a script that basically tests and if it's
not working it forcibly unmounts and remounts. I'm not sure that
autofs will do this.
Anyway, I just thought it would be nice if there were a hook that one
could use to check for ability to read/write to TopDir and if not then
execute something to mount it (or do whatever is necessary to make it
accessible).
