12 days agoNFS seems a poor choice for mobile when simply losing the link will cause end user troubles.
I hard dropped it years ago when a momentarily dropped link would mean you needed to reboot the client machine or you’d lock up for minutes at a time trying to poll the mounted directory. (which, when pinned in a gui file manager, meant every time I opened the file manager or a save dialog box, my entire system would just lock up for minutes at a time)
I use an unholy combination of smb and sshfs now, since they can fail gracefully where NFS just can’t.
