But when some error occurs with the nfs-connection, the "write" operation is just hanged up and does not return any errors, so I want to use nfs-utils, and I think I can handle the error above with the tools. But I almost know nothing about nfs-utils. Can you help me? I don't think you need nfs-utils. The write() system call will hang indefinitely if there is a problem with the mount. If you want it to fail when the server goes away, you need a soft mount, and adjust the timeo and retrans mount options to suit. See mount.nfs(8) and nfs(5). -- 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
