It will be better explained here Hard Mount Vs Soft Mount than I will do myself I guess
For a home server or a NAS, soft mount should be sufficient. Hard mounts are for client-server environments where data integrity is a major concern.
If moOde is mounting NFS resources with option 'ro' then the data integrity issue is moot. May as well choose soft mount to avoid the possible zombie state where the system hangs forever waiting for the server.
Add this to the freeze it may induce and you have already two reasons not to use NFS hard mounts imho.
In the worst case with soft mounts, the connection will be lost and the client will stop contacting the server. If the server gets back online, the script will remount the share automatically.
