That's cool, seems reasonable.
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!
