"[NFS3].... is not supported by the automounter."

You can mount it as NFS3 manually, or from /etc/fstab, or using AutoFS, but not via automount (which we use). I've tried to use -vers=3 in automount map, no luck :(

I was very surprised...

The usual drill for NFS mounting when no options are specified, as defined by Sun/Solaris (if you accept Sun/Solaris as a definer here?), is to mount using the highest revision of the NFS protocol available on both the client and the server, and the first connection oriented protocol available (usually TCP), falling back to the first connectionless protocol (usually UDP). So if the IRIX folk were paying any attention to the Solaris folk when they put their implementation together, as long as you have:

filer> options nfs.v3.enable on filer> options nfs.tcp.enable off

set on the filer, you would be in with a fighting chance of getting your 32K/NFSv3/UDP aspirations satisfied, even without specifying any mount options (32K xfer sizes are the default for NFSv3).
