We have several servers that mount from an NFS server for a lot of reading and writing. We typically have this mount listed in /etc/fstab. If one of these servers reboots when the NFS server is offline, it hangs in single-user mode until the NFS server comes back online. We have tried usiing amd(8), but the sorts of traffic we have been generating has been just a little too much for amd to handle.=20 Occasionally it will become overwhelmed and will not work properly until it (amd) is restarted. So, it is back to a straight NFS mount. How can we cause this NFS mount to be made after the system has reached multi-user so that we can log in and perhaps mount from another server? (The servers are in a colo, so it's not easy to gain physical access to the console to operate the machine in single-user.) I've played with putting a mount command into /etc/rc.local, but I don't know whether that would make us equally susceptible to a server outage. TIA!
