In regards to: Preventing broken NFS connection from freezing the client system.
My system runs SLES 11.4 and I use NFS v3.
In my /etc/fstab
file on an NFS client system I have:
mastersystem:/masterdata /data nfs defaults 0 0
Can someone tell me how I can find out what the defaults are? I'm looking to find where in the filesystem it says to use whatever options as default from the listing shown by doing a man nfs
?

Taken from man fstab
This defines the settings for the
defaults
keyword.NFS has its own (additional) set of defaults that are implied unless you tell it otherwise. An example of this is
hard
vssoft
, wherehard
is the implied value unless you specifysoft
. These are not enumerated clearly anywhere that I know of, but must be gleaned (quite possibly painfully slowly) from the nfs(5) man page.
