I thought I’ll make this thread for all of you out there who have questions but are afraid to ask them. This is your chance!

I’ll try my best to answer any questions here, but I hope others in the community will contribute too!

    Aha, interesting, thank you. So setting nofail and a time out of, say, 5s should work… but what then when I try to access the share, will it attempt to remount it?

      This is also what I’d like to know, and I think the answer is no. I want to have NFS not wait indefinitely to reconnect, but when I reconnect and try going to the NFS share, have it auto-reconnect.

      Look up “automount”. You can tell linux to watch for access to a directory and mount it on demand.
