After a bit more talks on IRC yesterday, it turned out that the situation is _much_ more "interesting" than originally described. The OP claims to have 10500 guests running off an NFS server, and that after NFS server downtime, the "backing files" were disappeared (whatever it means), so they had to restore those files. More, the OP didn't even bother to look at the guest's dmesg, being busy rebooting all 10500 guests. > This solution is the most logical one, but i cannot apply it! > thanks for all the responses! I suggested the OP to actually describe the _real_ situation, instead of giving random half-pictures, and actually take a look at the actual problem as reported in various places (most importantly the guest kernel log), and reoirt _those_ hints to the list. I also mentioned that, at least for some NFS servers, if a client has a file open on the server, and this file is deleted, the server will report error to the client when client tries to access that file, and this has nothing at all to do with timeouts of any kind.
