I found many users asking this on google search, but no solutions.
Is there a way to make the '/bin/mount -t nfs' calls autofs makes timeout faster when the server being accessed is down? Barring that, is there a way to make it such that when there is '/bin/mount -t nfs' attempt going on that is hung, other mount attempts to perfectly working servers during that time do not also hang? This is what is really a killer. One thought I had is to add 'bg' to the mount options in the map files but I am scared that might cause 100s of hung mount attempts to pile up. I am using a mix of CentOS4.8 (autofs-4.1.4-2) and CentOS5.5 (autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.143.el5_5.6) boxes. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Raines email: raines at nmr.mgh.harvard.edu MGH/MIT/HMS Athinoula A.
