NFS mounts disappearing from OAS servers
Hi all, I'd like to brainstorm the following issue for possible causes: The Oracle database servers and Oracle Application Server servers we use, use NFS quite extensively. The database servers especially make use of NFS for database backups. Periodically the NFS mounts disappear from the servers. When this occurs, a lot of things can be affected. Any ideas as to what could cause this? Could some type of time-out on a router or firewall be a cause?

Here's some further information: What mount option was used? Mnt point options server exported filesystem common -ro,soft,intr,retrans=9,tcp celerra01_cge0:/Mid-Range_Export_DBA_Common Are you automounting? YES Are the mounts clustered? no What does “nfsstat –m” say?

Client side Hsg05lt - Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 7) Rac02lt - Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 3) What's the timeout? The default timeout is .7 sec. with the retrans set to 9 I believe that we will get 7 minor timeouts (at which point we are at 60 secs.), this will generate a major timeout. We will get a mount failure when we have hit 3 major timeouts.
