I was forced to use nfs over tcp at our chair to allow an acceptable performance in a mixed 10/100/1000 ethernet environment. Still, this is a Linux-only environment and the kernel-option for nfs over tcp in enabled for all my custom kernels and I did not encounter any problems. On the other hand, I do not know whether this option is enabled in Debian kernels by default, whereby we might break some setups. As an option, we could try to mount using the tcp option and fall back to udp, if the mount operation fails -- or does the mount work in any case? Regards, Michael
