Reading some of the thread and reviews I can say that these 3 options
(version, retrans and timeo)
are advanced NFS features, which in most cases should not be used at
all. VDSM has very good defaults,
and in some specific cases there's a need to change these defaults.
Only in such case these options
should be modified.
No question that vdsm has very good defaults and only rarely should they be modified.
However, why not change everything via "mount options"? why do we have separate
parameters specifically for "retrans" and "timeout" (in addition to
"mount options")? As Geert said, we have also tcp, rsize, wsize, etc. So why
"retrans" and "timeout" got parameters of their own and the others
didn't (i.e. if there is a need to change tcp, rsize, wsize, the only way to do it is
via the generic "mount options")?
