Hi all! First, just a question to make clear, with nfsv4 rpc.statd and nfslock are not needed ? The Clients are not notified with sm-notify in case of a reboot - is this correct? But how does the notification of clients work with nfsv4? The problem I can see is the same as described here: http://www.digipedia.pl/usenet/thread/18978/22974/ So we have different values: /proc/fs/nfsd/nfsv4gracetime /proc/fs/nfsd/nfsv4leasetime /proc/sys/fs/nfs/nlm_grace_period If I set graceteime and grace_period to a low value, I get a faster failover. But what do they stand for and do I need nfsv4leasetime to ? If I set them all to 10 seconds, could that be "dangerous" (assume the server can handle the additional load)? I guess there isn?t an easy way to delete all the locks on serverside and explicitely tell the clients: Hey, the server has rebooted, please get a new lock for all your files? :-) I just would like to make failover a bit faster. Thanks a lot!
