nfs:nfs3_jukebox_delay

Description

Controls the duration of time that the NFS version 3 client waits to transmit a new request after receiving the error, NFS3ERR_JUKEBOX, from a previous request. The error, NFS3ERR_JUKEBOX, is generally returned from the server when the file is temporarily unavailable for some reason. These situations are generally associated with hierarchical storage and CD or tape jukeboxes.

Data Type

Long integer (32 bits on 32–bit platforms and 64 bits on 64–bit platforms)

Default

1000 (10 seconds expressed as 10 sec * 100Hz)

Range

0 to 2³¹ - 1 on 32–bit platforms

0 to 2⁶³ - 1 on 64–bit platforms

Units

Hz (typically the clock runs at 100Hz)

Dynamic?

Yes

Validation

None

When to Change

Examine the value of this parameter and perhaps adjust it to match the behaviors exhibited by the server. The value should be increased if the delays in making the file available are long in order to reduce network overhead due to repeated retransmissions. The value can also be decreased to reduce the delay in discovering that the file has become available.
