--- Comment #6 from Dr. Werner Fink
From the manual page nfs(5):
soft / hard Determines the recovery behavior of the NFS client after an NFS request times out. If neither option is specified (or if the hard option is specified), NFS requests are retried indefinitely. If the soft option is specified, then the NFS client fails an NFS request after retrans retransmissions have been sent, causing the NFS client to return an error to the calling application. NB: A so-called "soft" timeout can cause silent data corrup- tion in certain cases. As such, use the soft option only when client responsiveness is more important than data integrity. Using NFS over TCP or increasing the value of the retrans option may mitigate some of the risks of using the soft option. IMHO the network interface used for NFS for /usr should *not* depend on NetworkManager as /usr is not dynamic but NetworkManager. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
