Hey Trond,
I've been working on a bug related to autofs where a nfs mount returns EIO
in the middle of a job at which point things start to fail. It turns out
the machine isn't running nscd and that is causing a large number of
reserved source ports to be used over localhost and they crowd out the nfs
client. Prior to commit 67a391d72ca7efb387c30ec761a487e50a3ff085 this was
not a problem because we retried forever until we got a reserved source
port. It's ok to say 'use nscd', but in many cases nscd is not turned on
by default so I'd like to propose we revert to the previous behavior: retry
binding forever.
Thanks,
Ben
