This works sometimes, and sometimes not. Perhaps it is one particular server with a problem. I'll try to qualify that. The server which does not serve NFS over TCP is a Solaris 2.6 machine. > b) FreeBSD is serving NFS and you mount a share onto a Solaris box? AFAIK, this works (over NFS v3 and TCP) all the time without having to specify any mount option. > > if the case is 'a' afaik FreeBSD does NOT automatically do TCP and nfsv3 > because they aren't as well proven to be reliable, you HAVE to explicitly > ask for it via "tcp,nfsv3" options. When it works, the options do seem to be required. This seems to be contrary to the mount_nfs man page, which states: # The options are: # # -2 Use the NFS Version 2 protocol (the default is to try version 3 # first then version 2). # Also, I thought NFS v3 implied the default use of TCP. But the man page doesn't say.
