 retrans=#??”Sets the number of minor timeouts and retransmissions that need to
happen before a major timeout occurs.
 retry=#??”Sets how many minutes to continue to retry failed mount requests, where #
is replaced by the number of minutes to retry. The default is 10,000 minutes (which is
about one week).
 bg??”If the first mount attempt times out, try all subsequent mounts in the background.
This option is very valuable if you are mounting a slow or sporadically available NFS file
system. By placing mount requests in the background, your system can continue to mount
other file systems instead of waiting for the current one to complete.
TIP

Running Servers Part V
If a nested mount point is missing, a timeout to allow for the needed mount point to
be added occurs. For example, if you mount /usr/trip and /usr/trip/extra
as NFS file systems and /usr/trip is not yet mounted when /usr/trip/extra tries to mount,
/usr/trip/extra will time out. If you??™re lucky, /usr/trip comes up and /usr/trip/extra
mounts on the next retry.
 fg??”If the first mount attempt times out, try subsequent mounts in the foreground.
This is the default behavior. Use this option if it is imperative that the mount be successful
before continuing (for example, if you are mounting /usr).
