I don't un-dock my laptop at work much, it's practically just a desktop. But when I do, it would be nice if the cifs-mounted shares I normally use would handle the switch between wired and wifi better. Some wifi networks at work allow me to access to some of the cifs servers, some don't. And none of them are available at home unless I connect to the VPN. It would be nice if there was an automounter that just handled all that for me. It's annoying to accidentally hit tab and have a bash prompt hang for minutes because I forgot I can't use that mount from here.
I'm old-school, so I'm still using /etc/fstab, but I would switch to autofs or systemd if they automatically and gracefully handled switching networks. It seems to me systemd doesn't do that, but I can't decide about autofs. It's lazy mount and auto-unmount might give me similar results. But I wondered if I'm just missing some docs., orr if there are some cool nm event scripts already around to un-mount and remount network shares when the network changes.
