At least with NFS you can mount interruptable and kill the process. No such luck with NIS*. I feel your pain. Ben
From: Nicholas Clark Date: 14:51 on 31 Jul 2006 Subject: NFS Soooooo, NFS mounting the dev server on a Macbook worked just fine in LA. I could load things, edit things, save things, and generally get work done. Yet once the Macbook returns to blighty (with the server still in LA) and the fucking thing doesn't work. No, not in any nice honest refuse to mount type of way. No, in an evil tempting "I'll pretend that you're going to work" way that snares you into thinking that it's just something a little wrong and fairly soon you'll have it working perfectly. But can I? Can I hell. Somewhere, somehow, whenever I try to write a file larger than 1K it's crapping out. ktrace on the Mac doesn't tell me anything. And the server isn't talking to /var/log/messages. Hateful shit. Nicholas Clark

I warned you. Drop your NFS block size to 512 bytes or 1k. Or do NFS over TCP.
