Does anyone have a compendium of "typical" errors returned when an
I/O operation to an NFS filesystem fails? I'm particularly interested
in differences between soft and hard mounted remote filesystems, and
whether the (Unix) NFS filesystem implementation differentiates
between "soft" (retryable) and "hard" (physical device) errors.
