I'm jumping into the middle of this thread, so please forgive if I'm ignorant of what you've alread discussed, but this "soft" option seems to be the answer to a problem I periodically have. How do you specify "soft" in the /etc/fstab? For example, I'm currently mounting NFS drives via my fstab with:
GW2000:/usr /mnt/GW2000/usr nfs GW2000:/home /mnt/GW2000/home nfs GW2000:/mnt /mnt/GW2000/mnt nfs How would I change this to include "soft"? Thanks!
