This seems like another basic question because I always assumed that if I threw something in my /etc/fstab then it will be automatically mounted at boot time (unless I put in the 'noauto' option).
But my NFS partition isn't getting mounted, here's the excerpt from my /etc/fstab file, split on the whitespace so it's easier to read:
nfs_server:/exports/var/www /var/www nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr
After the server comes up, I can do a simple, 'mount -a' and the partition is alive. Do I need to use something like autofs? I figured I wouldn't need that since there's no reason to unmount this partition.
Thanks, Ajay

You'll want to toss a 0 0 on the end of that.
nfs_server:/exports/var/www /var/www nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr 0 0

You are correct. No need for autofs for a simple nfs mount, fstab is all you need.
