My environment: # nfs-ganesha-2.8.3-4.el7.x86_64 # CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core) In light of the stability problems that I've reported here recently, and given that I really do want to continue to use nfs-ganesha, I'm considering mitigating problems by either periodic or on-demand restarts of the nfs-ganesha service. A complete nfs-ganesha restart, until an nfs client is successfully accessing the server again, consistently takes: ~ 90 seconds for the nfs-ganesha stop ~ 2 seconds for the nfs-ganesha start ~ 60 seconds for an nfs client to resume for a total of about 2.5 minutes. Do these times indicate a problem or is this normal behaviour for nfs-ganesha? If these times are normal and not the result of some problem, is there any way to safely decrease this restart time? Thanks, Todd
