RE: Solaris NFS Client Settings?

["Schott, Erik J Mr ANOSC/FCBS" <erik schott-FCBS NETCOM ARMY MIL>]

Did you try adding bg, soft to the options on the Solaris clients?  The
default is fg, hard, which means, in a nutshell, the Solaris client will
continue to try the mount operation in the foreground, ad infinitum.  Just a
thought.

HTH.

Subject: Solaris NFS Client Settings?


We're having trouble with performance of Solaris 9 NFS clients to RHEL 3 
servers. I've seen the HOWTO at:

http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/interop.html

It addresses for the most part the reverse situation (Solaris server, Linux 
client), however.

Under any kind of load, the Solaris clients whine about the mount coming and

going, and write performance is abysmal.  We've tried default NFS mounts
(i.e., 
no options). Also, some searches turned up various recommendations, that are

shown in the Solaris client's /etc/vfstab entry below:

server:/data1     -       /data1  nfs     -       yes     
retry=3,rsize=1024,wsize=1024,vers=3

None of these seem to make any difference, though.

Anyone have working options for this situation?  Thanks.
