affa makes no hardlinks

One possibility.
Similar issues with copying large files across network connections has been attributed to "flaky" NICs. Try a good quality NIC eg Intel which are usually well supported by Linux. Disable your onboard NIC & try a Intel plug in card.

Yes, it is possible. It works with my FreeNAS !

Thanks for this advice. But how do you explain that the timeout happens only with the no_root_squash option in /etc/exports ? I never had any timeout before I put this option, and the timeout disapears when I remove it...

I was not trying to explain or answer your problem directly. You asked:
--- Quote ---Any idea on how I could solve that, or at least what I could do or try to locate the origin of the problem ?
--- End quote ---
so I suggested a troubleshooting approach, if you swap the NIC to a known good plug in card, then you may find whether the original problem is resolved or not, ie by process of elimination.
This is based on previous examples where large file copying operations stopped for no apparent reason, which was eventually traced to a "flaky" NIC.

Yes, thanks :-)
But :
1 - Put and remove the no_root_squash option in /etc/exports makes the "broken pipe" appear/desappear,
2 - The installation is far, and I have only ssh access.
So, do you think that it's really interresting to go there just to change the NIC ? I'm afraid that I will go there just to confirm that the problem is not the NIC... I should prefer to have others tries that I can do through ssh before, and go there only if really necessary.

freenas is NOT linux and so you may likely have different versions/implementation of NFS with different startup parameters..
in any case I would say that the issue is not with SME.. it works with FreeNAS..
you should search on mint/ubuntu side
