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 10000 minutes, which is roughly one week.
So retry=2 would give the same behavior on background mounts as foreground mounts I reckon.
Have you tried this? 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.
