==> Regarding Re: [autofs] autofs4: How to confg TCP 1st choice, not UPD?; Risto Bell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> adds:
reb> Using RedHat Enterprise 3 update 6. Release notes consistent with reb> my experience that UDP is the default. Perhaps RedHat changed the reb> default autofs4's natural TCP back to UDP? In any event, question reb> remains: There isn't an simple config by which to control it (prefer reb> TCP with timeo=600,retrans=2 1st), it has to be compiled into it? The default is not embedded in autofs, it's part of the mount command and/or the kernel mount implementation. My system is RHEL 5 beta, so much newer than yours. reb> Also could use multi-mounts? List two alternative mounts, same but reb> one TCP and one UPD, so the 1st (TCP) will be attempted, and only if reb> it fails (server doesn't support TCP) will it fall to 2nd (UDP)? reb> This would still need programs/scripts but would save rcpinfo process, reb> and achieve slight speed-up. Please don't do this. It is not the correct way to go about doing things, and it will not work. The reason is that when trying a replicated server, if we fail to mount we mark the server as down. So, your subsequent request will also fail. -Jeff _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
