Subject: [PATCH v2] Update nfs(5) manpage - timeo for NFS/TCP
Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2011 15:47:33 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110805021903.C84608198734@regina.usersys.redhat.com> (raw)
NFS/TCP does linear backoff then retransmiting - the manpage
was mistakenly asserting the "no backoff" theory.
