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?
