OK, here are some more details: each /data is between 1 and 8 TB, network is gbps. Generally, we process data locally for efficiency/latency (processing often touches several tens or hundreds of GB) , but sometimes a box can be a bit overloaded, and we want to process data on another server, using nfs mounts. Our datacenter keeps growing, and mounting every /data on every box is becoming ugly. I'm willing to know if there's a cleaner solution. automount could do the trick, but it's ugly, as you said :) Thanks, Laurent
