The problem is the "if the first attempt times out" part. If the
machine is down, it is gonna timeout, and each filesystem from that
machine is gonna take the same amount of time to timeout. I want the
option that says "just background the dadgum thing to start with!"
good point. i might start with "-F" mount option:
"Fork off a new incarnation of mount for each device. This will do
the mounts on different devices or different NFS servers in parallel.
This has the advantage that it is faster; also NFS timeouts go in
parallel. A disadvantage is that the mounts are done in undefined
order. Thus, you cannot use this option if you want to mount both
/usr and /usr/spool."
at least that will speed things up.
