Specifically, if a fileserver is reset or loses connectivity (ie: you get a warning about "unreachable") any process which has a binary on that disk is dead meat (vm errors). "soft" mounted disks can't be ^Cd out of a "df", for example (that should work) and don't time out and fail. I am beginning to wonder if the "soft" switch is backwards!
