Hi Rita, As i m not perfect on this but still you can try once as i have written bellow You can modify a configuration file. Search for a word called "TIMEOUT " in "/etc/sysconfig/autofs". By default it is 300, you need to change according your requirement. # /etc/sysconfig/autofs TIMEOUT=60 :wq! # service autofs reload On Sun, Apr 7, 2013 at 9:25 PM, Rita <rmorgan466@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > hi, > > I use automounter to mount to many hosts > > /net/<hostname>/dir > > When the hostname is unavaliable it seems NFS gets stuck.
