hi

i am afraid there are long standing issues in nfs(4). i had problems years ago using it to read image files from a pluto video disk store.

from memory the issue was when doing a directory scan of the pluto it would take so long nfs(4) would timeout, and this was not gracefully handled properly and nfs would fault.

i never managed to get to the bittom of it and just used cifs(4) instead.

-Steve
