nfs:nfs3_cots_timeo
Parameter
- Description
-
Controls the default RPC timeout for NFS version 3 mounted file systems using connection-oriented transports such as TCP for the transport protocol.
- Data Type
-
Unsigned integer (32-bit)
- Default
-
600 (60 seconds)
- Range
-
0 to 232 - 1
- Units
-
10th of seconds
- Dynamic?
-
Yes, but the RPC timeout for a file system is set when the file system is mounted. To affect a particular file system, unmount and mount the file system after changing this parameter.
- Validation
-
None
- When to Change
-
TCP does a good job ensuring requests and responses are delivered appropriately. However, if the round-trip times are very large in a particularly slow network, the NFS version 3 client might time out prematurely.
Increase this parameter to prevent the client from timing out incorrectly. The range of values is very large, so increasing this value too much might result in situations where a retransmission is not detected for long periods of time.
- Commitment Level
