Several customers have requested recommendations for "soft" mounting options for kahaDB master/slave configurations utilizing NFS4. The intr option for hard mounts is ignored as of kernel 2.6.25, leaving soft mounts as the only option for handling extended network outages.

Mount options timeo=50,retrans=1,soft,noac have previously been recommended to customers as an uncertified solution. This ticket would provide for testing of these mount options to provide for recommendation as a certified solution.
