- If a line in my fstab looks like:
-
- [machinename]:/usr/mp1 /usr/mp1 nfs bg,soft,timeo=28,retrans=16 0 0
-
- ^^^^^^^
-
- should the 'bg' and 'soft' options prevent network lockups when one
- machine (nfs server) goes down? We have several sgi machines cross
- mounted and it seems that whenever one goes down the hard way (and
- sometimes even when its brought down nicely) the rest of the machines
- lock up. That is to say, you can log in, but get no prompt in any
- of the shells.
-
- Man pages lead me to believe that I might need different values for
- timeout and retransmission.
-
- Trying to find the right FM to R...
-
-
- Any help would be appreciated.
-
- Thanks.
