>Environment:
System: FreeBSD eg.sd.rdtc.ru 8.3-STABLE FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE #44: Fri May 4 14:05:29 NOVT 2012 root@eg.sd.rdtc.ru:/usr/local/obj/usr/local/src/sys/EG i386

>Description:
	I have FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE/i386 as NFS UDP client
	and FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE/amd64 as NFS server.

	In /etc/fstab I have:

syslog:/backup /backup nfs rw,soft,intr,mntudp,noauto 0 0

	With these options, I can get small and medium files from NFS server
	but transfer of large files using rsync always fails:

# rsync -av --delete /backup /data/write
sending incremental file list
backup/system/20120429/
backup/system/20120429/rddtool-20120429.tbz
rsync: read errors mapping "/backup/system/20120429/rddtool-20120429.tbz": Operation timed out (60)

	A workaround is to use '-r=1024,-w=1024' mount options,
	then files transfer just fine.

	Meantime, ping -D -s 1472 runs just fine withous a loss.

	When this error occures, "netstat -ss -p ip" shows that
	'fragments dropped (dup or out of space)' increases with tens
	and hundreds packets.

	Both servers and client were upgraded top 8.3-STABLE
	using RELENG_8 sources of 4 May 2012.

	The same for NFS server based on 7.4-STABLE/i386.

>How-To-Repeat:

	See above.

>Fix:

	Unknown.
