Maybe this combination should be prohibited. Does it make any
sense given
the stateful nature of v4?
It might make sense if we were to fix up the granularity of the
recovery
routines so that we are able to recover all the state associated with
just a single open owner or lock owner. Currently we'd have to recover
all the state associated with that server.
IOW: we might be able to fix things up in the future, but right now,
NFSv4+soft is not a good idea.
Two cents worth: Until NFSv4+soft works reasonably well, I wouldn't
have any problem with making "soft" a no-op for nfs4 mounts.
