I have indexed onto a NFS-mounted database before (from
Linux) and it works fine. To diagnose this further, you
need to tell us:
. what OS is the server running?
. what the output of strace(1) or truss(1) is on the htdig
or htmerge executable that is failing (ie. what
system call the program hangs on)?
. does the process hang in the `D' state (see ps(1))?

Seems that TMPDIR only affects where sort stores
its temporary files during the htmerge phase. Should
have no affect on htdig.
