Or am I wrong? Yes, the interruptible flag should only have an effect when the process receives a signal while waiting on an NFS response. Maybe it is possible that the progess is sending itself a signal? NFS checks for SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGKILL and SIGQUIT. If you are using the -s/soft option then that is quite different - there are well-known effects where an unusually long delay from the server can trigger occasional EINTR errors. Ian
