Hello! Feisty cross posting there! Triple posting, too! Goodwill you cost that will.

You are running NFS over WAN links using VPN. Have you checked your MTU's? Packets can easily get too big in this scenario. Try smaller MTU sizes on servers and clients (you know, 'ifconfig mtu 1024' or something similar). You could check all your routers and wan hardware to up their MTU's, but that isn't always possible.

I don't know where the above comes from, but it does not contradict the fact that NFS runs over TCP and UDP. In fact, the Solaris NFS client picks TCP over UDP if the server supports it.

-mre (who led the team Sun that implemented NFS/TCP).
