[Gluster-devel] timeout setting

[Anand Avati]

Tsukasa,
 --attr-timeout is an indication to the kernel on how long it has to cache
attributes of an inode before doing a filesystem (network) call to refresh
it.

 --entry-timeout is an indication to the kernel on how long it has to keep
the dentry in the dcache before doing a refresh call with the filesystem.

transport-timeout in the protocol/client tells how long the client has to
wait for a response from the server before deciding that the network
connection is broken.
