Description Laszlo Ersek 2011-10-12 08:51:30 UTC 
**** Description of problem:

From bug 734188 comment 22:

The RHEL-[3456] guides cite "timeo=14" as an NFS mount parameter. Even though those examples are just syntax help, people tend to cut'n'paste them blindly. "timeo=14" seems to be a very bad choice for TCP.

If you find this bug valid, please consider cloning it for RHEL-[345].

**** Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Whatever is online currently.

RHEL-4: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/4/html/System_Administration_Guide/Network_File_System_NFS-Mounting_NFS_File_Systems.html

RHEL-5: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-nfs-client-config.html

RHEL-6: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Storage_Administration_Guide/s1-nfs-client-config.html

Thank you very much.

Hello Sachin,

I'm adding you to the CC list, because the RHEL-6 Storage Administration Guide
lists you as NFS contributor.

Thanks.

Should this be cloned for at least RHEL5?
