Stuff about all things NFS. Saturday, March 11, 2006. I was at Connectathon. Last week, and gave a presentation, "NFS over TCP, Again". The slides are now posted. At the Connectathon web site.

I was an employee of Lachman Associates, Inc. at the time, when Lachman obtained early.

Stuff about all things NFS. Friday, March 11, 2005. Retry= option to automount maps revisited. My colleague, Tom Haynes, points out that there can be issues with setting retry= to high values. I've updated the blog entry on automounter tuning. Appropriately. Bottom line: beware of doing anything higher than retry=2 on Solaris 10 (for now anyway), or force the NFS version to vers=3.

A customer recently was having trouble using NTFS qtrees in Data ONTAP, when using NFSv3 or NFSv4 to gunzip some files. No such problem with NFSv2. It was narrowed down to the fact gunzip, or at least the gunzip being used by the customer, creates files with the exclusive create flag set. CREATE3res NFSPROC3 CREATE(CREATE3args) = 8;. UNCHECKED = 0,. GUARDED = 1,. Union createhow3 switch (createmode3 mode) {.
