suppress NFS server not responding error?

[Dean M. Durant]

Hello, is there a way to suppress the error message "NFS server not responding"? We want to suppress it for the first 5 minutes. It confuses the users. Thanks.

Or, better yet, is there a way to replace this error text with some other text string? Thanks again.

I am afraid not, unless someone has a way to disable the error reporting using some adb sequence.

But why not consider unmounting the NFS mount if you know for sure the NFS mount will be unavailable and then mount it.

There is no way to block/replace this message , what you can do is
a) Do not mount NFS mount points during boot time
b) If you dont have NFS mounts, what you can do is edit /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf and make NFS_SERVER and NFS_CLIENT=0 and then reboot the machine
c) NFS commonly hangs due to errors in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.
Even a misplaced dot can cause it. Review that file for recent changes and errors

It is default setting. You can do supressing them. If you want you can *trim* logs without having that nfs related errors. It is critical errors.

The remote system is an HSM. It is mounted all the time. I did not fully understand the most recent reply, I'm sorry. Thanks though, everyone, for your help so far.

I am finding some info on the web about a
"recent request cache" (Juszczak89) that sounds as though it might accomplish this.
Does HPUX support this, does anyone know?

Also, there is NQNFS (Not quite NFS) that also sounds potentially promising. Does HPUX support this, does anyone know?

Thanks
