(A lesser kill, or a ^C will not break out of a NFS > hang.) You could use option "soft", which will do exit if mount fail. And i recommend to use it. You may also use "intr". soft This option allows the kernel to time out if the nfs server is not responding for some time. The time can be specified with timeo=time. This option might be useful if your nfs server sometimes doesn't respond or will be rebooted while some process tries to get a file from the server. Usually it just causes lots of trouble. -- pozdrawiam.. ## ## | Sylwester Zarębski - ISP Group | #### ## | e-mail: sylwek@isp.net.pl | ## ## ## | ICQ uin: #45780888 | ## #### ## | Administrator ISP.NET.PL |
