I have a PC with a couple of programs that have to write in a directory
in an NFS server. Both (client and server) are i386 OpenBSD systems.
Normally everything works perfectly, but I made a test to see what
happens if the NFS server is down: all client programs freeze for
exactly 10 minutes, waiting for the NFS connection to be re-established!
This is a too long timeout for me, because more and more instances of
the programs are run and get freezed, filling up memory and processes!
I'd like to lower the timeout value to 10-15 seconds (I can easily
handle a "retry later" situation). But, how can I do it?
I read the mount_nfs manpage, but I didn't understood a lot of the options.
What is the default of the "-t" option?
Is the "-s" option useful to me?
What is the "Retry" value that it refers to? Perhaps it is the value of
the "-x" option?
Thanks.
