Hi,
I have been tasked to mount a read-only NFS mounted software area to
500+ nodes. I wanted to do this with NFS and LVS, but after reading all
the howtos with regard to NFS and LVS and reading all the email with
regard to this in the archives (twice), it seems clear to me that this
doesn't work.
However, I have a boss, and he wanted me to ask if turning off
no-attribute caching (noac) would help in the reliability of this
service. He has seen with another NFS mounted filesystem that using the
"noac" turns off caching and clients that sometimes get "Stale NFS file
handle" will reread the file and succeed. So my question is:
1. Has anyone seen this behavior with "noac"?
2. Does it make sense to try turning off "noac" and testing? Will the
filehandle problem still persist and make this just a dumb thing to do?
I would like to apologize to Joseph Mack in advance if this question
increases his blood pressure.
Thanks,
Joe
