=Whenever you mount an NFS filesystem to/from a machine that is vastly
=different in speed (for us this is sun2<->sun3 and sun3<->sun4 and
=sun2<->sun4) you should use the following options to mount:
=
=slfs1.cs.rpi.edu:/us1 /fs1/us1 nfs bg,rw,soft,rsize=2048,wsize=2048,timeo=100 1 5
                                       ^^^^^^^
This is a situation guaranteed to cause disaster.  We've found the writing
to a soft mount can result in lost data.
