MOUNT_NFS(8) UNIX System Manager's Manual MOUNT_NFS(8)
NAME
mount_nfs - mount nfs file systems
...
The options are:
...
-i Make the mount interruptible, which implies that file system
calls that are delayed due to an unresponsive server will fail
with EINTR when a termination signal is posted for the process.
...
-s A soft mount, which implies that file system calls will fail af-
ter Retry round trip timeout intervals.
When passes from mount(8) as a generic mount option, you need to
specify ``-o -i,-s'', as in
mount -t nfs -o -i,-s server:/dir /mountpoint

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
