hi,
I use automounter to mount to many hosts
/net/<hostname>/dir
When the hostname is unavaliable it seems NFS gets stuck. I would like to set a NFS timeout (say 60 secs). If not available then error. I need to use hardmount but is there such a thing as NFS client timeout?
Hi Rita, As i m not perfect on this but still you can try once as i have written bellow You can modify a configuration file. Search for a word called "TIMEOUT " in "/etc/sysconfig/autofs". By default it is 300, you need to change according your requirement. # /etc/sysconfig/autofs TIMEOUT=60 :wq!
# service autofs reload

If the client has already mounted the server using the hard option - and then the server goes away, the client will hang on the mount point until the server reappears - there is no such thing as a 'timeout' with hard mounts ...
However, if you mean reducing the mount failure timeout when the client attempts to mount a server that is not available, then have a look at the NFS 'retry' option in the nfs man page
But if you are using /etc/auto.net to automount under /net, then this uses showmount to find exported mounts from a server, so will error fairly quickly anyway if the server is available
