That little D is what is killing you. When a hard nfs mount gets
interrupted, the box pretty much becomes unusable and will require a
reboot (usually just the client). When a soft nfs mount gets
interrupted, the box can recover, but supposedly your throughput
suffers. I just use hard nfs mounts and don't let the network go down
(yeah, believe that one...)
