Network file systems may work fine on desktop machines which are (usually, in my experience) either On or Off. But laptops and other mobile devices often have their networking go up and down, they get put into sleep/hibernate, and they're often not at the same location all the time (meaning the connection may fail, possibly after waking from sleep).

I've been looking for a good network file system which can overcome these standard behaviours; is the long-standing NFS my solution? I've tried with SSHFS which seems to hang far too often after sleep; scripting the connect/disconnect doesn't work out; AutoFS+SSHFS+Avahi hasn't worked for me... this seems like a pretty big issue that should have a solution but I've not found it. Suggestions? I'm running Debian Testing, 2.6.32...
