The situation I have is that a (Solaris x86) NFS client cannot mount a
filesystem exported from a FreeBSD server over TCP.

The client used to be able to mount the export with no problem, it can currently
mount if I specify the client to use UDP (mount proto=udp nfs:/export).

The client has been reset several times, the netstat -a output from the server
for the relevant machine shows:

# netstat -a | grep penfold
tcp        0      0  virgo.sunrpc           penfold.1022           ESTABLISHED
tcp        0      0  virgo.nfsd             penfold.1023           ESTABLISHED
tcp        0      0  virgo.sunrpc           penfold.1021           ESTABLISHED

This occurs even when the client is down.

I suspect that the TCP stack and/or NFS server on the server has somehow
"wedged", and thus the client is having problems mounting.

Is this likely?

If so is there anything I can do about it, short of rebooting the server?

Server details:

# uname -a
FreeBSD virgo.allstor-sw.co.uk 3.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE #1: Wed Jun 30
