It's intr. I don't agree with the default, but it's clearly intentional, so you can close this bug. Thanks for all the help!

Hi Marc, I think that nfs strategy to retry forever is a documented feature, not a bug. You can override the behaviour by doing a 'soft' mount. If you believe that this bug should remain open, please provide additional information, otherwise I'll close this bug one week from now (Sunday, April 2nd 2006).

I can't update the server side trivially, since it's a production fileserver. from nfs(5): soft If an NFS file operation has a major timeout then report an I/O error to the calling program. The default is to continue retrying NFS file operations indefinitely. So this seems to be a case of feature, not bug. It'd be great if you could test this with a soft-mount too.

I set the mount on the client to soft, but the hang isn't happening with a hard mount right now. If I see the problem again, I'll experiment some more and report back.
