 | | | NFS Server Reboot | NFS Server Reboot 2004-01-30 - By Norman Elton
Back
I 've tested disconnecting our NFS server from the network. As expected,
any processes accessing an NFS share "hang " until the connection is
restored, and which point, they all spring back to life. This is good.
Does anyone know what happens if the NFS server process dies, or if the
server is rebooted? I seem to remember last time I ran an "exportfs -r "
to load new mountpoint, all the clients started complaining of "stale
nfs handles ", and had to be individually rebooted. This is not a good
thing. How can I work with the NFS server without causing all the
clients to go haywire?
An NFS server crash is obviously a bad thing, but I 'd expect the
clients to revive themselves once the server is back online.
Thanks,
Norman
