I have an NFS server and NFS client separated by a firewall. Both servers are FreeBSD 7.1.

Server configuration: nfs_server_enable="YES" nfs_server_flags="-t -n 4" rpcbind_enable="YES" mountd_flags="-r -p 737" mountd_enable="YES"

The firewall allows tcp and udp to port 111, but only tcp to ports 2049 and 737 (configured for mountd, see above).

On the client I use e.g. the following command for mounting: mount -t nfs -o nfsv3,tcp,intr,rdirplus,-r=32768,-w=32768 XXXX:/export/usr/obj /usr/obj

Mounting and subsequent fs operations work flawlessly.

When I unmount umount command hangs but can be interrupted with ^C. Everything seems to be clean after that - the filesystem is unmounted, there are no post-effects on both client and server.

I think this is it: 377 /* 378 * Report to mountd-server which nfsname 379 * has been unmounted. 380 */ 381 if (ai != NULL && !(fflag & MNT_FORCE) && do_rpc) { 382 clp = clnt_create(hostp, RPCPROG_MNT, RPCMNT_VER1, "udp");

I wonder if umount could be smarter as to whether use udp or tcp here.
