What can I do, If the NFS server is rebooting/offline?
I mean the clients just wait and wait and wait...

I tried to set

timeo=5,retrans=2

mount options when mounting nfs in fstab on client side =
still no luck, clients are just waiting...
Can I set a timeout somewhere? big_smile

Thank you for any tips


I tried "ls --color=never"
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=468049
it still waits

I tried on the client side with other mount options: intr, soft
it still waits


update big_smile :
I turn the NFS server down
Clients hang
reboot client
client cant see the NFS share, but at least it doesn't wait's for it
I start the NFS server
reboot client
It can see the shares again

Client's are Lenny's

ps.: amm...the nfs server is really an unfs3 server in an openwrt kamikaze 8.09 router... smile :S

the fstab entry is this

vim /etc/fstab
192.168.1.1:/mnt/share/ /home/user/Desktop/Share/ nfs defaults,ro,nfsvers=3,nolock 0 0

The discussion might have continued from here.
