I went back and took a look at how bg mounts worked in a number of older kernels f19(3.12) all the way back to RHEL6 kernel (2.6). I turns out you are right. The bg mounts were not depending on timeouts they were depended on the mount to fail with ECONNREFUSED The very first one, which is the reason the bg mount happen so fast... Its seems these days ECONNREFUSED are no longer return as an error codes. They basically are turned into a timeout... Just curious as to why ECONNREFUSED are no longer returned? Again, thanks for the cycles! steved. -- 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
