  • does retrains have any effect with hard? this is what man nfs says:

    If neither option is specified (or if the hard option is specified), NFS requests are retried indefinitely. If the soft option is specified, then the NFS client fails an NFS request after retrans retransmissions have been sent, causing the NFS client to return an error to the calling application.

    also, do you know what can I do with CIFS/SMB? I have most of my shares through samba :/


  • well that’s also interesting, but I mainly experience this problem on my desktop. there was a plasma version when even the taskbar panel got frozen, and the kde file manager, double commander too for like a minute, every time they try to do anything with an unreachable network drive. and its even worse on my laptop so there I just don’t mount my shares anymore.

    I have been wondering how does windows do it, and programs made for windows, because this is a nonissue there (though windows has its fair share of problems with network shares though…). maybe they just learned to do all IO ops on a different thread…








  • what desktop is that? fedora kde has separate options for shutdown and shutdown-and-update, same for reboot. I think it’s a native plasma 6 feature, integrates with packagekit and systemd’s special boot mode.

    untattended updates are good. except of course if you want to gatekeep hard, but let’s pretend you do not. if the pros can easily turn it off there’s absolutely no problems with it. and we can. but for real desktop systems, it needs to be on by default.

    This theory is based on my understanding that computers don’t go all the way to sleep anymore and reenabling S3 restores normal sleeping.

    yeah, now that you say that is probably most laptops in the last few years. but I don’t think desktops do it. wrong, even my 4+ years old pc motherboard supports it according to /sys/power/mem_sleep
