@MountainX: No, the "auto" option for /etc/fstab is different to
"autofs".

The "auto option" mounts the filesystem in question automatically at
boot time.

"autofs" is a program/daemon which mounts/unmounts NFS shares on-demand.
It's an alternative way to mount NFS shares so to speak, and in this
case you wouldn't have those NFS entries listed in /etc/fstab at all.
"autofs" control files are /etc/auto.master and some other /etc/auto.*
files (user defined).

One of the reasons I started using autofs was to get a working suspend,
because mounted NFS shares don't seem to work very well with
suspend/resume...
