Issue Summary

During a temporary NFS outage, the Tomcat threads hang indefinitely and gets exhausted.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Configure NFS Shared Home
2. Install Jira Data Center
3. Breaks NFS communication

Expected Results

• Jira should detect NFS communication failure.
• Requests relying on NFS should fail faster.
• Requests NOT relying on NFS should continue working fine.
• Threads should not hang indefinitely.

Actual Results

• Tomcat threads hang indefinitely
• Tomcat thread pool gets exhausted
• All nodes are affected, causing Jira downtime. 

Additional Information

With the NAS down, the operating system keeps the volume mounted. 
Any OS commands like LS, CAT would also hang. 

Neither JVM nor Tomcat has a built-in mechanism to directly limit the total processing time of a request.

Workaround

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
