Hi all, I have a problem on nfs mounting. I have 8 clients, which are trying to mount with in the time interval of 30 secs. But each time I got the error message of timed out (i,e mount: RPC: Timed out). This error occurred due to the overloaded of nfs server and this nfs server is overloaded due to the excessive retransmission. I have not set the mount option of timeo, retrans in my /etc/fstab file. My /etc/fstab file is like this. 192.168.100.1:/home/meta/MetaDirectory /home/meta/MetaDirectory nfs rw,proto=udp,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft,intr 0 0 I want to stop the retransmission packets, for that i have changed the /etc/fstab like this. 192.168.100.1:/home/meta/MetaDirectory /home/meta/MetaDirectory nfs rw,proto=udp,timeo=40,retrans=0,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft,intr 0 0 Still now i also get that retransmission packets at the nsf server. please suggest me how to set the mount option in /etc/fstab file or any other configuration file for nfs client so that i 'll not get the retransmission packets. waiting for your kind response. regards Kanhu Kanhu Charan Rauta Innomedia Techonologies Pvt.
