[nflug] NFS noac option

[Justin Bennett]

Mail is delivered / served from these as well, everything would just log 
jam behind the hard mounts, trying to shut services down on the way 
down, and then ultimatly the NFS and NFSLOCK on services on the client 
shutting down. I found the soft mounts allowed things to error out and 
shutdown cleanly before the UPS died. Is there a downfall about soft 
mounts I'm missing, other than things may error out if the NFS box is down?
