similar to: maximum number of mounts

hi, I use automounter to mount to many hosts /net/<hostname>/dir When the hostname is unavaliable it seems NFS gets stuck. I would like to set a NFS timeout (say 60 secs). If not available then error. I need to use hardmount but is there such a thing as NFS client timeout? -- --- Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.--

Is there a tunable to set NFS hard mount time out? For instance, if the server becomes unavailable for extended amount of time, say 1 hour. I would like to timeout after 30 secs. (Soft mount isn't an option, BTW) -- --- Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.--

has anyone been using cachefs with 6.x series? i have tried using it but i keep getting hung processes after 2 weeks. ATM, running 6.3 but was curious if its more stable on Centos 6.5? -- --- Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.--

Hello, I would like to compile python 2.7.3 for centos and was wondering if there were any instructions I should follow. I would like to keep the standard python the way it is. I would like to compile to /opt. Any tips or ideas would be much appreciated. -- --- Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.--

Hi, after trying sshfs to mount a remote file system on a server with the result that sshfs will sooner or later get stuck and require a reboot of the client, I'm fed up with it and am looking for alternatives. So next I would like to use NFS over a VPN connection instead. To minimize the instances of the NFS mount getting stuck, it might be helpful to use autofs. What happens when the

Hello, I dont have root access but I would like to install several packages (gtk) in my home directory. Is it possible to install it via yum ? -- --- Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.--

I'm looking into 'porting' some custom init.d scripts that are in use on CentOS 6 boxes for use on CentOS 7 using systemd One particular init.d script needs to run after autofs has been started, but before X11 is started I'm guessing I could use something like: After=autofs.service Before=graphical.target Is this correct? However, I would like to use the same systemd

We have about 800 CentOS 5.2 servers and our university. We use NFS being served from over 10 NetApp frames. We use autofs for to mount up our partitions. There have been times where we can't cd into the directory. It says the directory does not exist. On some servers it works but on others it does not. Typically we restart amd and autofs to resolve this issue. But sometimes it does not even

Nope, that completely takes over '/mnt' and everything else that's in there becomes invisible. However, I do believe you're on to something here. Looking back at the other, working setup, I do realize now that I did the same, where the path was '/mnt/<something>' and the autofs mounts are within that, so they became '/mnt/<something>/<mount-point>'

Hi, I'm using Autofs and LDAP for mounting my home directories via nfs. In general, everything seems to work fine. However, I have one small problem. If I reboot my server using autofs while my LDAP server is down, I get the following error message in my logs: automount[3358]: bind_ldap_anonymous: lookup(ldap): Unable to bind to the LDAP server: (default), error Can't contact LDAP

See Red Hat Bugzilla bug #846852 for details. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=846852 FYI: We discovered that after updating to EL 6.3 on our x86_64 server, autofs 5.0.5-54 broke our nightly backups that rely on automounting an NFS share hosted on another EL 6 machine on our local network. The machine hosting NFS server was configured to allow only TCP connections to the port

we have close to 50 servers. I would like to have X11 libraries (and devel). Instead of installing them one by one on all servers, I would like to have them in a central NFS location and have my app pick them up like that. Is it possible to do this with yum/rpm ? -- --- Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.--

hi, I am trying to find out what compile flags and environment variables were used when compiling the python package. Is there an easy way of figuring this out? perhaps a website which shows the RPM specs? -- --- Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.--
