- Set the mount options explictly. Here are the mount options that need to be used for nfs volumes on Linux.
Use : rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,tcp,vers=3,timeo=600,actimeo=0
default rsize and wsize for NFS is 4096 Blocks so if you have rsize=32k and wsize=32k then NFS would be able to read and write large datagram as compared to deafult one TCP option will make sure that your client are getting the data or not Hard & INTR - The program accessing a file on a NFS mounted file system will hang when the server crashes. The process cannot be interrupted or killed unless you also specify intr. When the NFS server is back online the program will continue undisturbed from where it was. actimeo is for access timeout and it should be 0 .
Hope this Helps!. Rupam
