If you're likely to do that again (have something not mounted that
usually is), you might try this trick:

Unmount it.
Create a file in its mountpoint, e.g. touch /home/not-mounted

Next time you try to access it when it's not mounted, you see that file,
and you're reminded about why, straight away.

[tim at bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr

Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.  Today, it's FC7.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
