If mounted with the 'hard' option NFS can do that, because a process
is waiting to close a file. It shouldn't freeze the whole system
unless part of the system itself is actually on NFS (home directories
is a common one). But this can be an intentional trade-off, where you
Yes, and IIRC, I tried the option which was supposed not to let things
freeze, with no better results.
BTW, is there something that handles files transfers securely in a
simple way, like rsync or scp, with the ability to mount the remote file
systems like with NFS or samba?
