At least in my case, both of the vendors I am using for high
performance NFS (BlueArc, and Exanet) have tcp as a best
practice. Exanet actually runs on top of CentOS 4.4 though
does not use the linux NFS stack.
These are the options I use for Exanet:
rw,bg,hard,intr,tcp,nfsvers=3,timeo=2,retrans=10,rsize=32768,wsize=32768
These are the options I use for BlueArc:
rw,bg,hard,intr,proto=tcp,nfsvers=3,timeo=600,rsize=32768,wsize=32768
Exanet is an active-active cluster, the BlueArcs are not configured
in any sort of cluster. Planning on retiring the BlueArcs very
soon as they are about to be end of life.
