NFS retries

I have set the NFS retries to 1 on my clients and when I disconnect my test server from the network my clients try 4 times. I only want the clients to try 1 time. Any suggestions?

Re: NFS retries

Hi,

There is a 'retry' count option during NFS mounts:

# man mount_nfs

eg:

# mount -F nfs -o retry=1 hostname:/tmp /tmp_host

This will retry only once.

HTH,
