Intr is not the opposite of hard. We have all our nfs mounted
filesystems mounted hard. All nfs filesystems mounted r/w should
be mounted hard or lots of things will break at random moments.
all of these filesystems are also mounted intr, this gives users the
choice: shall I wait or shall I hit interrupt.
De mail spool is mounted with noac (i.e., no attribute caching).
Overall, I think this setup gives the least problems.
