Here's my setup:


2.2.6 NFS server with /home exported
-current NFS client mounting server:/home under /home

If the server gets rebooted or their link is temporarily severed, the client
never recovers. Any attempt to read anything from /home causes the process
to get wedged pretty nicely. (even kill -9 won't kill it)

However entering this on the client machine

mount -u -o async /home

*while* the client's nfs is hosed will make it recover within 5 seconds. It
even appears that all the writes that were queued are executed, and no data
is lost.

Is there any way of making whatever it was that did this happen
automatically every once in a while? :)

Does specificing async on an nfs mount even do anything?


Also.... Unrelated, but still with NFS... Some of my customers are
complaining that their log files are getting other users's deleted files
mixed in with theirs. (all of this is over nfs). Any idea how?
