I've currently got my filers with 'options nfs.tcp.enable off' from when I first set them up due to a perception that this would cause problems.
Has anyone got tcp enabled? Have they seen any problems/benefits, or are there any known issues with this?
We use mainly Solaris 2.5.1/2.7 machines and HPUX 10.20 machines, now with NFS v3 support added, doing compiles and standard (but heavy) file access (no news server, proxy, etc.)
A note: NFS v3 and TCP/NFS aren't quite the same thing.
We have tcp enabled, but in turn we tell the Solaris boxes to use udp with the "proto=udp" option in the automounter map.
NFS over TCP is a performance hit on a lan compared to NFS over UDP. If you have hosts mounting stuff over a wan link, then TCP/NFS does offer a bit of added stability.
