[SOLVED] Mount NFS - no wait if server not responding

Issue

In Centos7 I mount remote folder with this command:

mount -t nfs-o soft,timeo=900,retrans=1,vers=4.1 X.X.X.X:/nfsshare /nfsshare

The mount work fine.

I want get an error or a fast timeout if remote NFS server not responding, bud not work. If I try to access to remote file when NFS Server in down, I wait permanent without error or timeout.

Where is the problem?


Solution

I fix with this configuration:

mount -t nfs -o soft,nomand,nofail,timeo=1,retrans=1,_netdev,rw X.X.X.X:/nfsshare /nfsshare
