I don't know if netatalk cannot do it itself, but your unix box can -- via
the automount daemon: as soon as any process tries to access any defined
directory, the automounter will transparently mount that device, and will
unmount it after any specified idle time.
Depending on your unix flavour, you already have such feature in your OS
as "amd" or "automountd", or you can install GNU amd yourself.
