Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Ever read the 'Amelia Bedelia' series?
About a girl who took everything far too literally?

Not to worry, thanks for your answers. I figured NFS couldn't cause that much flakiness generally, else nobody would use it.

New Never read
But I have been the victim of NFS mounted systems going south.

Fucked up development efforts as I tried to access the stuff mounted on the (down) system, but the system I was on was up and going... not that I could *do* much on the system I was logged into without access to the dev system.

The production systems are at worst two or three times removed from the development system, and have *no* direct connection to the development system. I still maintain that a production system with a dependancy on an NFS mount to a development system is really {bad,stupid,wrong}.

New It wasn't (supposed to be) a dependancy
I think it was more a 'hey, let's give this a whirl and see if it's more convenient than FTPing files across' thing.

After an evening of downtime and a lot of angst, I think they decided that no, it wasn't exactly what you'd call convenient.

On and on and on and on,
and on and on and on goes John.
New Someone clearly had a learning experience.
It sounds like someone discovered that NFS is not quite entirely unlike FTP. :-)
