From man mount, under the heading "Mount options for nfs":
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 timeo=time. This option
might be useful if your nfs server sometimes
doesn't respond or will be rebooted while some pro?
cess tries to get a file from the server. Usually
it just causes lots of trouble.
