Re: Replacing NFS with Samba

You could also try to "soft" mount the NFS share (but according to "man mount" it might not be a good idea)

It really is debatable. Soft mounting reduces reliability in the face of a network problem but the nfs client avoids getting dragged to its knees everytime there is a slight outage. Last time I checked Sun was recommending soft mounting on Solaris.
