Another reason I hate NFS: Silent data loss!

     There's another reason for NFS to fail:  hardware bugs.  I heard that
at least one hardware did have a bug in the ethernet controller, and what
at first seemed to be an NFS bug was caused by somewhat mangled data on
ethernet collision [so the bug appeared only on heavy load].
