Does anyone know the reason Redhat changed the default mount protocol to
tcp ?
Can anything be inferred from this change ?
Should we be mounting file systems tcp now ?
Thank

It is a more robust protocol than UDP, specially when you are using
large values for rsize/wsize (by 'large' I mean 'significantly greater
than the MTU for your network').

If you have no performance problems with UDP, then by all means keep
using it...

Wasn't that always the case ? Was wondering Why now ?

The reason why it wasn't made a default earlier is that TCP server
support was not too good throughout most of the 2.4.x series of kernels.
It has been improved in more recent kernels to the point where everyone
feels comfortable with having it as a default.
