Hard mount

-- If the NFS file system is hard mounted, the NFS daemons will try repeatedly to contact the server. The NFS daemon retries will not time out, will affect system performance, and you cannot interrupt them.

 

Soft mount

-- If the NFS file system is soft mounted, NFS will try repeatedly to contact the server until either:

• A connection is established
• The NFS retry threshold is met
• The nfstimeout value is reached
