In the Usenet newsgroup comp.protocols.nfs someone from Sun gave a long explanation about soft versus hard nfs mounts and using the "intr" option with hard mounts. In their explanation they also pointed out how on an nfs mount a write() may fail but you may not get the notification until you do a close(). Out of curiosity I looked at the code in fileio.c and in write-region it does check the return value of close() but there are other places where it doesn't, for example in copy-file it doesn't check the return status when closing the output file descriptor. I think someone should eyeball the code carefully and check all of the close calls and have it check the return status on the ones that are output file descriptors.
