New NFS feature in ONCplus B.11.31.09
NFS introduces the following feature:
Parallel mount feature for performance improvement.
Prior to ONCplus B.11.31.09, when the system booted up, NFS mounted all the file systems listed
in the /etc/fstab file serially resulting in considerable boot time. To reduce this time, the parallel
mount feature is introduced in ONCplus B.11.31.09. This feature allows NFS to mount multiple
file systems parallelly thereby reducing the boot time.
The parallel mount feature has a dependency on the file system changes. The file system changes
are being delivered through a EP/NCF release. Following are the EP/NCF patch details:
1. Enhancement Patch: PHCO_40590
Release Date: March 2010
2. NCF Bundle: MountallEnh
Release Date: April 2010
These filesystem patches must be installed for NFS to use the parallel mount feature.
For more information about this feature, see the patch documentation for patch PHCO_40590 and
the web page for the NCF Bundle.
