After the timeout of an RPC call to access a file on a hard-mounted file system the NFS client
module does not return control to the user-level process that originated the call. Why?

What will be an ideal response?

Many Unix programs (tools and applications) are not designed to detect and recover form error conditions
returned by file operations. It was considered preferable to avoid error conditions wherever possible, even at
the cost of suspending programs indefinitely.
