Starting with Fedora 29 and RHEL7 UDP mounts are no longer negotiated.
The command line argument is need to do a UDP mount.

Again starting with Fedora 29 and now RHEL8 UDP is off by default
on the NFS servers. A configuration change is needed for UDP mounts.

We did this to cut the testing matrix in half... 

We've not had any push back on the lack of UDP support. 

Personally I think it is long overdue...
