What is difference between Hard and Soft mount?..

Answer / sbrahman75

Hardmount:Normal file system mount used mainly for mounting
local file systems.

Once a file system is hard mounted, can use
a normal filesystem untill

its umount.

Soft mount:It allows automatic unmounting if the filesystem
is idle for a specified timeout

period. It is mainly used for network
filesystems like NFS It can be configured

using Autofs and the network filesystem can
be soft mounted.
