Be very careful
Heh, you have just described SMB. The semantics of SMB are very similar to the semantics of NFS soft mounts. If the NT redirector sees a timeout on an SMB packet, it sends an error to the application. Some apps register an error handler and can deal with the error (I believe MS apps such as Word can absorb the error). But many can't, and they are terminated by the OS! Where as UNIX systems post a read/write error I believe (unfortunately many apps handle such errors ungracefully). SMB on OS X probably behaves like NFS soft mounts ... I haven't tested it yet though. |
