And yet, if I first create an empty file of the desired name, and then copy over it, it works just fine: $ touch /media/Mann/thief.avi $ cp thief.avi /media/Mann/thief.avi But then 'mplayer /media/Mann/thief.avi' gets stuck again. According to 'dtrace -p 768 -P syscall' (where 768 is the player process), this is what's happening: http://stare.cz/~hans/.tmp/bsdmacnfs.txt I will look at a tcpdump of such NFS session.
