I deleted the new "/etc/nfs.conf". With # cat /etc/sysconfig/nfs RPCNFSDARGS="--udp" I get [root@localhost ~]# rpcinfo -p program vers proto port service 100000 4 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 3 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 4 udp 111 portmapper 100000 3 udp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100005 1 udp 20048 mountd 100005 1 tcp 20048 mountd 100005 2 udp 20048 mountd 100005 2 tcp 20048 mountd 100005 3 udp 20048 mountd 100005 3 tcp 20048 mountd 100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 4 tcp 2049 nfs 100227 3 tcp 2049 nfs_acl 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs 100227 3 udp 2049 nfs_acl 100021 1 udp 58880 nlockmgr 100021 3 udp 58880 nlockmgr 100021 4 udp 58880 nlockmgr 100021 1 tcp 33179 nlockmgr 100021 3 tcp 33179 nlockmgr 100021 4 tcp 33179 nlockmgr So udp is enabled for nfsv3.
