BTW, the hanging behavior I was seeing didn't have anything to do with NFS -- it was the same if I tried to write to a local fifo with nothing listening on the other side (no NFS). So I guess opening a fifo over NFS doesn't even reach nfs_open() in sys/nfs/nfs_vnops.c which would return an EACCES on a VFIFO. OK, I think I'm satisfied. Thanks! -Paul.
