Automount a Network Drive

[Blueychan]

Hello,

Trying to figure out how to automatically mount a network drive even if the server where the drive resides on is restarting. Basically a permanently mount.

I have edit /etc/fstab on the mounting server host so that it would remount at boot-up. Now in the case where the network drive reboot, how do I make it automatically remount?

Any advice?

Some kind of init script

Depends on the protocol, ie nfs, smb, etc.

automount. autofs. Rather than wanting something to be automatically mounted, make it mount whenever it is actually needed. How to do it depends on which automounter implementation and distro you have.
