Hello Josh, The client will wait 2 * echo interval before marking a server unresponsive. The default echo interval is set to 60 seconds. You can tune this to a lower value using the echo_interval=n mount option. In your case, you can set echo_interval to 8 so that the server is marked unresponsive after 15 seconds of the server being unavailable. Upstream patch which added this option. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=adfeb3e00e8e1b9fb4ad19eb7367e7c272d16003 Explanation of the code before that patch was added: http://sprabhu.blogspot.in/2015/08/investigation-into-effects-of-server.html Sachin Prabhu On Thu, Jan 4, 2018 at 11:15 AM, Josh Pettett <jpettett@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello, > > We have a use case in which we want the the CIFS mount to quickly > timeout and return an error on the client side if the remote server is > down.
