[jira] [Commented] (CLOUDSTACK-6166) Should we be recommending ASYNC NFS in documentation?

["Pierre-Luc Dion (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6166?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14351834#comment-14351834 ] 

Pierre-Luc Dion commented on CLOUDSTACK-6166:
---------------------------------------------

There is a not about the async flag, at the end of this page: http://cloudstack-installation.readthedocs.org/en/latest/storage_setup.html

sync is usually not performant which probably explain the reason for this configuration.

> Looking at current and past installation, we recommend users export secondary storage with async NFS:
> /export  *(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
> Generally async mode is considered risky from a data reliability point of view (eg http://serverfault.com/questions/328931/how-dangerous-is-nfs-async-when-raid-bbu-and-ups-are-present ).
> While advanced users will see this and ignore it, we probably shouldn't be guiding new ACS users towards async NFS...
