This is something I've been concerned about -- and how to properly approach 
this.

For example, we can use Puppet to ensure that the directories (mount 
points) exist and that the entries are present in /etc/fstab -- but I grow 
very concerned about automating the NFS-mount part of this.

I don't think we'd want to use autofs, as the namespace isn't visible 
unless you "cd" directly into it.   We nixed this idea with /home, for 
example.

What would be the safest ideal way to approach this?


Thanks!
