It's kinda key to the architecture > also. Right - I looked into this, and here's the deal. It's all up to the client, and clients all have timeouts. With NFS, one gets either hard or soft timeouts. Hard timeouts don't return until the server responds. Soft timeouts quit after a client-specified amount of time. CIFS has a soft timeout. You've probably seen this in action on your Windows box a time or two. The default is 45 seconds, and it's client-side specifiable too. We can test these kinds of things without playing with the kernel, actually. The sequence of 1) send open request, 2) block open request is not (for our purposes) any different than the sequence 1) send open request, 2) server goes down. I think, anyway. -- Jay Miller ICQ: 32123421 | YM: ladenedge | http://www.cryptofreak.org PGP: 0xedc9bb8d | 41a6428c 46abd36b 6b259b68 8a28ca4c edc9bb8c -- This is the antera mailing list.
