tcp option seems to have helped, except when attempting to mount a 
redhat 9 nfs server.  Mount says:
"nfs server reported service unavailable: Address already in use"

Maybe the NFS server in RH9 doesn't support TCP mounts.  I just spent
the better part of the afternoon fighting with almost every other
aspect of an RH9 system, so nothing surprises me when it comes to
redhat.  They even ship a broken perl.

I see that one, too.  Apart from that, it appears to work.  Try the
tcp option, and see if it helps.

NFS on 2.6.0-test9

[Luke Driscoll]

On a kernel 2.6.0-test9 as an NFS client I am having trouble transferring
data to and from NFS servers. It it extraordinarily slow.  I receive the
following information in dmesg:

nfs warning: mount version older than kernel
nfs: server safe not responding, still trying
nfs: server safe not responding, still trying
nfs: server safe not responding, still trying
nfs: server safe not responding, still trying

I have also upgraded util-linux to 2.12pre

I am using various NFS servers, Solaris 2.8, Solaris 2.6, linux 2.4 and of
all things a windows server with NFS. It seems to suffer when connecting to
any one of them. 

I have built from the default 2.6.0-test9 source.
