difference between nfs soft and hard mouniting points?

Answer Posted / rajeev ranjan

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
