Hi,
you can create a script which will check the link status of two servers.using ping you can check the status.if pins status is ok that it will mount.use IF-else condition.

Thanks & Regards

hi,

you can schedule a monitoring script that runs at a predefined interval and explicitly mount the file system.

In case, it is already mounted you will get the following message:

mount: : is already mounted on


which you can just ignore.

hope this helps!
kind regards

Would using the automounter be easier? Or is the filesystem always in use?
