Ok... I've heard of warnings not to mount NFS disks at the root level...
can someone explain why? We currently have a dozen or so disks automounted
to /A/<disk> then linked to /<disk>

2nd... I've always thought it was unsuggested to "hard" mount (through
fstab) a dozen or more NFS disks... much more preferred to use
automount. I'm being pushed against the wall to mount a dozen disks since
I can't get the time to get automount (autofs) working under Linux (i386 &
alpha). Comments on having this many "hard" mounts?

Thanks
