Just looked through the man page for mount_nfs, and fstab, and it
appears that the ability to 'soft mount' a file system (-o soft) has been
deprecated in favor of (-s)...but how do I match that inside of
/etc/exports for boot time?
I'm trying to prove stability of FreeBSD to Windoze users, and one of the
problems that we are trying to rectify is Windows locking up when a Novell
server dies...I figured with FreeBSD/soft-mounting this wouldn't be a
problem, except that iether I'm doing the soft-mounting wrong (adding
'soft' to options in /etc/fstab), or this is a problem still with when the
network does go down?
Thanks...
