Yes, the combination of settings in place right now could add up to 3 minutes:
On the client side: nfsvers=4,proto=tcp, hard,timeo=600,retrans=2,ac,acregmin=3,acregmax=60,acdirmin=30,fg,retry=120, sharecache,lookupcache=all,cto So right now it's got a 60 second timeo value, and it will retry up to 2 times. I'll see if I can find any OS level messages about the NFS server lock, or if the NFS server reported anything. On the server side: read delegation, 30 second lease for locks, grace period 45 seconds On Fri, Mar 18, 2016 at 6:30 AM, Tim Bain <tb...@alumni.duke.edu> wrote: > I'd say it's more likely that either 1) NFS gave away the lock when it > shouldn't have, or 2) network conditions were such that your master lost > connectivity and NFS rightly allowed the slave to take it.
