So... we've been running our systems with standard fstab based mounts and recently have experienced occasional issues where a system had lost communication to one of the nodes it should be talking to. Aside from when a system is backing up its files, we don't do a lot of access on our filesystems, usually its just hits here and there. One thing we discussed this morning was the possibility of moving to automounts to see if that would resolve the issues by always opening the connection when its needed. Do you guys have a strong preference one way or the other? Can you think of some some caveats I should be aware of? Was there a specific way you decide auto vs standard? thanks greg
