Use <code>autofs</code> on the NFS client to auto-mount.<br />
<br />
For Ubuntu, install the <code>autofs</code> package after you've gotten <code>nfs-common</code> set up.<br />
<br />
== NFS4 home directory example ==<br />
In <code>/etc/auto.master</code>:<br />
<pre><br />
/home file:/etc/auto.home --ghost -t 600<br />
</pre><br />
The <code>ghost</code> argument makes the directories appear to be present under <code>/home</code> even when they aren't actually mounted.<br />
The <code>-t 600</code> gives a 10-minute (600 seconds) timeout.<br />
<br />
In <code>/etc/auto.home</code>:<br />
<pre><br />
