What can I do, If the NFS server is rebooting/offline? I mean the clients just wait and wait and wait... I tried to set timeo=5,retrans=2 mount options when mounting nfs in fstab on client side = still no luck, clients are just waiting... Can I set a timeout somewhere? :D Thank you for any tips _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
