Subject: NFS questions
Past experience has taught me that if an NFS server happens to go
down for whatever reason (and then restarted), the machines connected to
it will be in a state of 'being stuck' and the only way to fix that is
to either try to unmount those NFS volumes, and remount them, or to
restart the client (which solves the problem all together).
Is there any better mechanism to check for things like this
automatically? If the NFS server gets rebooted, or the connection died
long enough for the clients to lose it. What can be done? Is there any
specific way I should set the clients up to reconnect or something?
For that matter, if and when the NFS server goes down, is there any
way of telling the clients to stop trying to use that particular mounted
volume, and switch to a local (mirrored) partition till the NFS server
comes back up?
