By the way, do most people using NFS use TCP instead of UDP because there is more to tune/tweak with TCP?
UDP will always be faster over lightly loaded lans, these days with switched 100bT at the entry level the only time to use tcp is over wan links.
Running Version 2 or Version 3 seemed to make no difference - does anyone have any opinions or options that would suggest otherwise?
We have found version 2 slightly faster than 3 for our workloads, having said that we are slightly atypical. Unless you are doing lots of small ios then v3 will usually be slightly faster due to the increased block sizes.
