I'd love to know if it really works. I've got it down to a reasonable timeout (1m 30 sec) now with these options proto=udp,timeo=1,retrans=0,retry=1,intr,soft,bg with proto=tcp it's about 4mins > > You could as well try automount with your nfs shares... Yes, that is an option. We use it for some services. Cheers D ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Have you tried this? I'd love to know if it really works. You could as well try automount with your nfs shares... ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Ahhh, I should read the man pages more carefully!! Just found this retry=n The number of minutes to retry an NFS mount operation in the foreground or background before giving up. The default value for forground mounts is 2 minutes. The default value for background mounts is 1 minutes, which is roughly one week. So retry=2 would give the same behavior on background mounts as foreground mounts I reckon. > FYI we can't move to NFS4 since we've some old boxes running Solaris 8 > mounting this filesystem also, which cannot be upgraded Solaris 10 to > support v4. > > All the best > > Dan > > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] NFS options in fstab
Hi All, I've a quick question I'm hoping someone can help out on; One of our NFS servers has an intermittent hard lock problem under high load. This is a CentOS 5.7 box. It's due for replacement sometime next year. However... The issue is when this box dies the boxes that mount the NFS exports have trouble with the mount and some processes time out casing the system mounting the file system to become unresponsive also. Of course un-monuting the file system with -l fixes it. This is an example of our current mount options in fstab hostname:/share1/ /mountpoint nfs rw,intr,soft,bg 0 0 The question is, what (other) options should we be using to allow the mounting server to ignore/fail/timeout the mount, or at least continue normal processing, when the NFS server packs up? FYI we can't move to NFS4 since we've some old boxes running Solaris 8 mounting this filesystem also, which cannot be upgraded Solaris 10 to support v4.
