Description nobody 2010-10-11 21:00:10 UTC
netmount use <mount -at $fs> to mount network filesystem (note: in fact, it mount anything, but others filesystem should be already mount)

but if the nfs server is down, unreachable, dnsserver down while using fqn in nfs mount command...
The script just try to mount all nfs mount, and user is now dead, waiting every mounts to timeout.

So i wish it to be changed to <mount -atF $fs> so i would get all timeout more or less at the same time, cutting down the wait by mount-1*timeout seconds

Also because, some users might complain about using aF to mount nfs maybe just add a new /etc/conf.d/netmount where i could put the option to allow the <F> usage. And everyone will be happy.



Next query is kinda related, i wish <umount -at $fs> changed to <umount -atl $fs> 
I don't think an option is even needed for that, it "should" be safe as long as kernel>2.4.11
This will also help cases like this one https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219823


Reproducible: Always

lack of info in this bug report, so i'm just going to assume you're using baselayout-1 here

openrc already adds timeouts/retries/etc... to netmount.  no plans to address this in baselayout-1.

we arent going to unmount things lazily as the kernel doesnt provide any notification that i'm aware of to userspace as to when things actually finished unmounting (i.e. syncing).
Comment 2 nobody 2010-11-10 19:09:51 UTC
no i'm using baselayout-2 and openrc, here's my emerge --info (at end)

Can you point me to doc about openrc to set a lower timeout value because in my netmount script i only see netmout trying to mount the fs by doing "mount -at $fs" and i don't know where the mount command pickup the timeout value.
