This is a UNIX terminology as to what the client does when
it can't talk to an NFS Server. If you just mount a file
system without specifying hard or soft, the default is a
hard mount. Hard mounts are preferable because of the
stateless nature of NFS. If a client sends an I/O request to
the server (such as an ls -la), and the server gets
rebooted, the client will wait until the server comes back
on line. This preserves data transfers in the event of a
server failure. There are disadvantages to this, as a simple
mount request could hang. A soft link will return with an
error and fail. This kills the wait time, but can cause
problems with data transfers.

Answer / amit kumar ghosh
soft mount is to mount for limited time or temporary,
whereas hard mount is mount permanently.
To make nfs permanent mount go to /etc/fstab & put the entry
& run a cmd to make it mount permanent #mount -a.

Answer / susheel
Soft mount:-
[root@susheel ~]# showmount -e 192.168.0.105
Export list for 192.168.0.105:
/nfs *
[root@susheel ~]# mount 192.168.0.105:/nfs/ /mnt/
Hard Mount (Parmanent mounting):-
[root@susheel ~]# vim /etc/fstab
192.168.0.105:/nfs /mnt nfs
defaults 0 0
:wq!
[root@susheel ~]# mount -a
Note: After mount -a u will be able to see share file
in /mnt path
