No, i'm just using packages from CentOS repo... And u're right about expo retries... with tcpdump i've monitored traffic and i got SYN retries in 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96 secs on port 2049...

I dont want change source or tcp timers... just NFSv4 client. 2009/8/10 Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx>: > On Aug 10, 2009, at 2:29 PM, Carlos André wrote: >> >> Bruce, no... you're right.
