For read-only mounts, not so worried ... good enough for media files, but there
are lots of people who think wifi is stable and use it for r/w file servers.  Ok

I miss the "spongy" mount option from amd.  Acts like a hard mount most of the
time, but has a timeout that doesn't lock up a system completely.
