Perhaps there is a status we can return that says "I'm working on it, don't
timeout"

I'm finding this rather troublesome. It doesn't make us very appealing to
the NAS/file server world.

We might still be ok for applications running local on the box.

I still think we need to run the test. I'm hoping you're wrong about the way
clients will respond or that a blocked open is different from a server going
down.
