Hmm, tough choices to make. Though I don't think it's a good idea to have nfs 
mounts in /etc/fstab marked as auto if they depend on hotplug network 
interfaces. I think in that case you should have a hotplug script that mounts 
the file systems after the interface is up. /etc/fstab is the wrong place for 
those file systems since it doesn't describe which interface is used. If 
you've got nfs mounts in /etc/fstab that should imply they work with the boot 
time available network interfaces.
