Solved fstab mountoption -a

[TheNisse]

Hi

I'm currently using the following mount options when manually mounting a NFS filesystem on FreeBSD 7.1.
mount_nfs -T -a 0 -o acregmin=0,acregmax=1,acdirmin=0,acdirmax=1 server:/folder /mnt
I would like to add them to my /etc/fstab file
I'm able to add everything except -a 0 the readahead variable.

Do anyone have any ideas?

FreeBSD 7.1 has been end-of-life since February 2011 and is not supported any more. Please upgrade to a supported version.

From mount_nfs(8):

     -a      Same as -o readahead=<value>

Hi

Thanks for fast reply
My fstab looks the following right now:

server:/folder           /mnt      nfs   rw,tcp,acregmin=0,acregmax=1,acdirmin=0,acdirmax=1,readahead=0     0      0

And when I try to mount /mnt I get:

mount_nfs: -o readahead=: option not supported

-o readahead is not supported in FreeBSD 7.1. You really should consider updating. In the meantime try this instead:

 server:/folder /mnt nfs rw,tcp,acregmin=0,acregmax=1,acdirmin=0,acdirmax=1,-a=0 0 0

i.e. use -a=0 in /etc/fstab.

Thanks -a=0 works like a charm.
Yeah I know, this is a legacy system and I can't upgrade.

Yeah I know, this is a legacy system and I can't upgrade.

Sure you can. What's so special about this machine that it has to use an OS that's been end-of-life for 4 years?
