An NFS hard mount that is unresponsive could freeze your splunkd -- or at least one or more threads -- until the NFS server does respond again. A soft mount would return an error back to splunk, which may be the more interesting case for your question.</P> Mon, 25 Jul 2011 17:15:59 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/nfs-failure-behaviors/m-p/48059#M70091 dwaddle 2011-07-25T17:15:59Z
