Hard mounting : Providing entry in /etc/fstab is called hard
mounting. Using hard mounting when client system boots at
booting time client will try to mount the entry in
/etc/fstab if the server is down client pc willnot boot
until the server is up. mounting at boot time is called hard
mounting.

Soft mounting : Providing entry in /etc/auto.master and
/etc/auto.misc is called soft mounting. When client sys boot
it will try to mount if unable to mount just gives the error
message and it will continue the boot process. Mounting at
boot time or by user request is called soft mounting

without user interaction.

Hard mount in unix in the normal filesystem mount mainly
used to mount local filesystems. The filesystem will be in
the mounted state until you unmount it manually.

Soft mount is an option that is very useful for mounting
network filesystems say nfs filesystem so that soft mount
will allow automatic unmount if the filesystem is idle for a
specified time period

Eg. can be used with autofs
