Welcome to IWETHEY!

New NFS hangs

NFS is notorious for this.

\r\n\r\n

Not sure if I'm confusing NFS with Samba, but IIRC there's a mount flag that will allow remote file accesses to time out. This should avoid your hung I/O processes in future.

Soft-mounting NFS risks file corruption. Hard-mounting NFS risks hangs.

New absolutely excellent link supplied
of the security issue I have run NFS over an ssh tunnel for grins but nfs should only be used in a pristine trusted environment.

Well of course not! The same applies to splattering X sessions all over the place. NFS is fine in its realm. At least, I've never had any issues.
