I wonder. As far as I know, AFS is no longer supported by IBM, hence, you could use OpenAFS, for better and worse, or you could search for another alternative. Not reading this whole thread, I could suggest, that as far as I know, you can find / install CodaFS clients/servers for almost any OS you can think of. I know it can be used for Linux, and I know you can use it for Win32 architectures, and as far as I know, you could use it for other Unices too, Solaris and HPUX. This is one approach to the problem. Assuming security is not your main goal, does finding the cause of the IO hangs using NFS won't be easier then changing the whole network FS layout? Assuming you do not search for the cause of the hangs, how can you be sure you won't have the same problems using any other network FS? I cant supply a conclusive answer, but I can suggest finding the cause of the hangs might serve you better then replacing the network FS layout.
