    It's not an error message. NFS over UDP was used in the past.

    You can check that the server provides NFS over TCP via

    $ /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -p pc
      program vers proto port
    ...
        100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
        100003 3 udp 2049 nfs
        100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs
        100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs
    ...

    In the example above, both UDP and TCP are supported by the nfs daemon.

    IMHO it just doesn't list the message. "netstat | grep nfs" will show
    if there is an NFS over TCP connection.

    If both the NFS server and client run SUSE Linux 9.1 then you did
    something wrong since NFS over TCP is started by default in this case.
