    It defaults to TCP -- when TCP is unavailable I get a message (to /var/log/messages, and on the console after doing /etc/init.d/nfsxxxxx start) that says "TCP unavilable - falling back to UDP".

    Not sure where you force it to use one or the other, though. But I'd bet it's somewhere in the docs at http://nfs.sourceforge.net/

    How do I tell if the NFS server is using UDP or either TCP, and how do I
    tell it to use or or the other?
