If I run 'journalctl | grep grace' on one of my machines I get: May 12 17:50:07 fileserver kernel: NFSD: starting 90-second grace period (net ffffffff81c64a00) This _is_ configurable, but there is an open Debian (wishlist) bug about that: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=601335 Some further discussion justifying the "lease time"/"grace period" feature, including a possible workaround for the bug above, see: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/42868 HTH, Dave W.
