1 NFS drives me nuts...
2
3 I'm mounting a number of NFSv3 directories using the following mount
4 options:
5 async,soft,timeo=10,intr,noatime,rsize=8196,wsize=8196
6
7 When I shutdown a client Gentoo seems to shutdown the network before and
8 without unmounting the NFS filesystems. Later Gentoo tries to unmount
9 remote filesystems.
10
11 This causes NFS to try what seems like "forever" to reconnect with the
12 remote file server.
13
14 Two questions:
15 How do I fix the shutdown sequence to unmount NFS drives before the network
16 is shutdown?
17
18 How do I tell NFS to simply give-up after X attempts (for other times when
19 the NFS server simply may not be there anymore and I *just want the
20 friggin' computer to shudown*)?
