Advanced Nfs Options
Summary
Allows advanced users to override some of VDSM default nfs options
Current Status
To do:
- Make needed change in Ovirt-Engine
- Make needed change in the GUIs
Done:
- Make needed changes in VDSM http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#change,1038
Description
Currently VDSM has a default value for NFS timeouts, these are made to strike a good balance considering most common networking infrastructures and demands. Some client might be more tolerable to intermittant network interruptions or, on the other hand, less accepting of io stopping timeouts. For these kind of advanced users VDSM now accepts 2 new optional arguments in the NFS type specific arguemnts.

- timeout - Optional, integer - The time in deciseconds (tenths of a second) the NFS client waits for a response before it retries an NFS request.
