How does one mount an NFS share, to avoid system timeouts when the remove NFS server is offline?
I would use a different approach: use autofs, then the share is mounted "on the fly" only when needed, and unmounted after a while of not using it anymore. Is this fine with your environment?
That won't really work. The NFS clients run cPanel and we need a way for end-users to have full access to their backups all the time. We used to run backup over FTP, but then when a client wanted to restore data one of the techs first had to download it from the backup server and then let the client restore it. So I'm trying to cut down on unnecessary support tasks.
