David,

 "nfs over tcp" is terribly unstable until now, I use version 2.4.20, and
find that over 30 simultaneous nfs connection can kill an "nfs over tcp"
Linux nfs server easily. let clients' processes hangs there forever. But
this didn't happen for Linux nfs server enabling only "nfs over udp".

 So the best choice now is totally disregard Linux "nfs over tcp" in
production environment. just try it in research environment.

 Thanks.

Hi,

Can anyone advise me if nfs server over tcp is
supported in 2.4.18 kernel version ? How to
setup/enable on both server/client side ? Tried to
looked at FAQ but information did not seem be there.

Do I need to apply any patches ?

Thanks
David
