Description

The retrymount is similar to mount -P, but it doesn't try to hide errors and fact of re-mounting from user, and so is 100% safe to use with any applications/9P servers.

If some network error happens and mount point become unaccessible, your application will get I/O error. At same time, retrymount will try to retry same mount command again and again until success. So you application after I/O error also can retry access to files on mount point until success.
