So, I'd like to ask the NFS experts on this list whether in a CentOS 5 environment with NFS3 mounts over a functional private network, would using static mounts result in any negatives as compared to automounts. I'm especially interested in overhead on the NFS server. Cordially,
Is every node mounting every other node? Or are you talking about every node mounting a central server? The static mounts would happen on boot and you might have issues if every node was trying to mount every other node. With automounts, you would delay the mounting until the booting node has to access the other node. I had this issue way back in 1998 with a Beowulf cluster. Heating issues forced me to shut down all of the nodes at the same time and the interdependencies in the mounts caused the bringup to be slow. :-> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
