I do recall, long ago, things like NFS or Samba failing.  They'd abort
or just seem to cease working part way through a lot of traffic.  Like
when I'd set up a new server, and then copied all the old data from the
old server onto the new server.  That's static files, by the way, not
files that could change in the middle of the procedure.

But I don't think get something like dd from a NFS source simply
failing without you being able to tell that it'd failed.  You'd,
surely, get some error warning you about failure.
