Subject: Re: [PATCH] Don't hang user processes if Kerberos ticket for nfs4
 mount expires

I would argue that if you don't want your applications to stop working when
your ticket expires, you shouldn't let the ticket expire.  If you don't want
to have to renew your ticket, you should use an infinite ticket lifetime.

It sounds like you've made up your mind, but I would urge you to make this
a mount option, analogous to the hard/soft mount option.
