Also, I noticed in the docs that it urges against using the NFS "soft" mount
option, but on my wireless LAN, NFS almost always hangs without the soft

once that happens, and I have to reboot. Is there any way around this?
If you read the NFS docs, 'Hard' mode will lock processes until the NFS
server
becomes available again, marking them as waiting for I/O. 'Soft' mode, on
the other hand, returns a file read error if the NFS server becomes
unavailable.
Hard mode is preferable as it shouldn't cause transcode processes to exit with
errors if your wifi drops packets. If your nodes aren't detecting the
re-appearance of your NFS server, that's a problem completely outside of
dvd::rip. Perhaps poke around the NFS team's bugzilla and/or docs?
