[K12OSN] fstab not automatically mounting /home on other server

[Jim McQuillan]

Krsnendu,

The reason your nfs filesystem isn't getting mounted at bootup is likely 
because the /etc/fstab file is searched for filesystems to mount BEFORE 
networking is up and running.

You didn't mention which distro you are using, so I'm not sure what you 
can change to force your NFS filesystems to get mounted.  I'm looking at 
an Ubuntu Feisty machine, and it looks like there's a 'waitnfs' script 
that gets run AFTER networking, that is supposed to take a 2nd pass at 
the /etc/fstab, and mount the NFS filesystems.  I don't know if yours 
does that or not.
