Hi, I'd like to mount an NFS4 share with the option bg as described in man 5 nfs. This works perfectly fine e.g. on a Gentoo system. I tried the same with some Fedora 12 clients and the bg option just seems to be ignored. All mounts are carried out in the foreground and time out after 2 minutes [and the client is blocked e.g. during boot for the entire time] instead of trying in the background for about 1 week until the server is back up. The only difference I could find was that Fedora 12 automatically tries to use FS-Cache when issuing the mount and may be FS-Cache forces the whole task into the foreground... When I issue the mount command I find the following lines in dmesg: FS-Cache: Loaded FS-Cache: Netfs 'nfs' registered for caching I certainly did not specify the mount option fsc or anything else to activate FS-Cache and I could not find any option to avoid it. Can someone tell me how to deactivate FS-Cache? I tried to blacklist the fscache module, but it was used any ways when issuing mount. Removing the .ko file resulted in a broken nfs module nfs: Unknown symbol __fscache_read_or_alloc_pages nfs: Unknown symbol __fscache_check_page_write nfs: Unknown symbol __fscache_relinquish_cookie nfs: Unknown symbol __fscache_unregister_netfs nfs: Unknown symbol __fscache_read_or_alloc_page nfs: Unknown symbol __fscache_uncache_page nfs: Unknown symbol __fscache_register_netfs nfs: Unknown symbol __fscache_write_page nfs: Unknown symbol __fscache_wait_on_page_write nfs: Unknown symbol __fscache_acquire_cookie Is there a nice way to get rid of FS-Cache or do I have to build my own kernel?
