nfs-utils package

time out does not work when nfs server stand-by

Asked by Qianqian Fang

I have two computers at home, both running Ubuntu. One of the computers shares a folder to the other via nfs. On the client side, I mounted the drive by the following line in fstab:
 192.168.1.2:/home/user1/share /opt/user1 nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,rw

however, I found when the server becomes offline after mounting, the client side will have a lot of troubles, for example:
1. "df" takes forever to print
2. client computer is unable to suspend
3. file explorer (thunar) can not open any folder.

As you see, I set timeo in my mount parameters, I don't know why it dose not work. Dose anyone have a work-around for this problem?

thanks
