hi all-
i'm still learning about the Linux automounter, but we have an issue
that seems to come up a lot for our customers using Linux, it's
automounter, and NetApp filers doing volume snapmirror (a file system
replication mechanism).
at the end of a replication event, the destination file system goes
offline for 3-4 seconds while the new version replaces it. the filer
used to return EACCES during this period, but we've changed it to simply
ignore all RPC requests for that file system until the new version is
online, as this seems to be more client-friendly behavior.
so now, during that time period, an automounter request to mount that
file system will fail with "RPC: timed out" rather than getting EACCES.
is there any way we can tell the automounter to wait longer or
retransmit another few times?
