nfs.man: clarify effect of 'retry' option
The total timeout for a "mount" attempt to a non-responsive server
will always be a multiple of the time a single mount attempt in the
kernel takes, which for TCP defaults to about 4 minutes.
The documentation for the "retry" option seems to suggest that this can
be used
to set a maximum but it really sets a time after which to stop retrying.
The total can be as much as "retry" plus the time for a single attempt.
So clarify the documentation a bit, and also note that retrans
defaults are different for UDP and TCP:
#define NFS_DEF_UDP_RETRANS (3)
#define NFS_DEF_TCP_RETRANS (2)
