-The program accessing a file on a NFS mounted file system will hang
-when the server crashes. The process cannot be interrupted or
-killed unless you also specify
-.BR intr .
-When the NFS server is back online the program will continue undisturbed
-from where it was. This is probably what you want.
-.TP
-.B soft
-This option allows the kernel to time out if the nfs server is not
-responding for some time. The time can be
-specified with
-.BR timeo=time .
-This option might be useful if your nfs server sometimes doesn't respond
-or will be rebooted while some process tries to get a file from the server.
-Usually it just causes lots of trouble.
-.TP
-.B nolock
-Do not use locking. Do not start lockd.
