Isn't SMB better than NFS?

It at least doesn't lock anything up that has a file open when the network goes down. NFS is a nightmare with that. NFS is more idiomatic on *nix but still a huge pain when dealing with matching file perms across systems.

Yeah, we've been bitten by this too, around once a year, even with our fairly reliable and redundant network. It's a PITA, your process just hang and there's no way to even kill it except restarting the server.

This sounds like a Linux client bug (failure to properly implement the “intr” mount option), not the fault of NFS itself.

It’s a failure to use the intr mount option. I’ve never had a problem using soft mounts either, which make the described problem non existent
