Enable NFS: : > Select 'Yes' to enable the NFS protocol. Tunable (fuse_remember): : > When NFS is enabled, this Tunable may be used to alleviate or solve instances of "NFS Stale File Handles" > you might encounter with your NFS client. > > In essence, (fuse_remember) tells an internal subsystem (named "fuse") how long to "remember" or "cache" > file and directory information associated with user shares. When an NFS client attempts to access a file > (or directory) on the server, and that file (or directory) name is not cached, then you could encounter > "stale file handle". > > The numeric value of this tunable is the number of seconds to cache file/directory name entries, > where the default value of 330 indicates 5 1/2 minutes. There are two special values you may also set > this to: > > * 0 which means, do not cache file/directory names at all, and > * -1 which means cache file/directory names forever (or until array is stopped) > > A value of 0 would be appropriate if you are enabling NFS but only plan to use it for disk shares, > not user shares. > > A value of -1 would be appropriate if no other timeout seems to solve the "stale file handle" on > your client. Be aware that setting a value of -1 will cause the memory footprint to grow by approximatel > 108 bytes per file/directory name cached. Depending how much RAM is installed in your server and how many > files/directories you access via NFS this may or may not lead to out-of-memory conditions.   :
