Is there any way to write to an NFS-mounted filesystem in a way that will avoid
all of the NFS retries? Basically I want to try a write, and if the server is
not accessable I want to return immediately with an error code.
Would setting the O_NONBLOCK flag on opening the file give me this behaviour?
