wireless + NFS == death
Posted on May 14th, 2006 by Daniel
Unfortunately, Linux wireless is not the best. And, something about the NFS support in Linux makes it not deal well with network failure. I swear that the last 5 hangs/crashes* I’ve had in linux were due to NFS over wireless. I’m a biscuit away from switching to CIFS…
Thank the gods for journaled filesystems.
*Okay, the last 5 not counting the proprietary kernel module we use at work that panics constantly…
I feel your pain mate. It’s just annoying when you realise your connection has gone, and your home directory or whatever just makes your system go all nauseas
