    This doesn't help as it's a very active system, and /var/mail gets accessed
pretty much continuously.  It's not a matter of mounting it only when needed.
I need it all the time.  It's a matter of being able to mount it - if the
remote server is down (or still booting up), I need some way of having it
continue the bootup sequence, and retry mounting after a few minutes.
