I agree with this. Have an "Advanced Options" button or something that will display these options. Default state should be hidden. It could get really ugly if the user starts mucking around with options like (r, hard, and sync). The reason I say this is that the default settings for NFS should be sufficient in the majority of cases. Further, you would think that the NFS maintainers carefully selected and tested the default option set for a variety of scenarios, I'd be hesitant to make it easy to override them unless there is a ground swell of NFS problems.

Most of the NFS problems that I've seen are related to server-side permissions and cannot be resolved by the client. > not sure what mount options is as it is not supported for NFS. > >> Comments are welcome. >> >> ---- >> Thanks, >> Einav >> _______________________________________________ >> Engine-devel mailing list >> Engine-devel(a)ovirt.org >> http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel >> > _______________________________________________ > Engine-devel mailing list > Engine-devel(a)ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel _______________________________________________ Engine-devel mailing list Engine-devel(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel

timeo=n The time (in tenths of a second) the NFS client waits for a response before it retries an NFS request. If this option is not specified, requests are retried every 60 seconds for NFS over TCP. The NFS client does not perform any kind of timeout backoff for NFS over TCP. _______________________________________________ Engine-devel mailing list Engine-devel(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel
