o NOTE: RTEMS 'mount()' / 'unmount()' are NOT THREAD SAFE.
+ o The NFS protocol has no 'append' or 'seek_end' primitive. The client
+ must query the current file size (this client uses cached info) and
+ change the local file pointer accordingly (in 'O_APPEND' mode).
+ Obviously, this involves a race condition and hence multiple clients
+ writing the same file may lead to corruption.
