Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • The timeout of a nfs tcp session will be 180 seconds. From a pcap the timeout is 4min6seconds(15:34:12 - 15:30:46), which is longer than 180 seconds.
  • setsockopt() TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is not accurate.
  • This affects NFS and any TCP application that calls setsockopt() TCP_USER_TIMEOUT.
