[ale] mount issue

[DJ-Pfulio]

Setup autofs if you want control over
* mount location
* mount options
* automatic mount access

Normal Use Scenario:
 Plug in the sometimes-connected storage.
 Browse to the location where you told it to mount - on access, it will
be mounted.
 Browse away and wait 5min (or manually umount it), it will be
un-mounted, unplug it.

With autofs, you can set options so the OS doesn't lockup just because
some temporary storage isn't available.
