Subject:   FreeBSD 8.4 - Can't mount nfs over tcp, but can mount over udp
Message-ID:  <55145C8A.3030206@silvertree.org>

I have a FreeNAS 9.3 server exporting an NFS share over UDP and TCP. 
Everything works great over UDP, but over TCP, everything times out.

I'm running ipfilter, but rebooting with it disabled didn't fix the 
issue.  Here's the relevant line in ipf.rules:

pass out log quick on em1 proto tcp/udp from any to any keep state
pass in log quick on em1 proto tcp/udp from any to any keep state

em1 is 192.168.0.0/24, em0 is the public facing NIC.

/etc/hosts.allow on both servers is set to just allow everything:

# Start by allowing everything (this prevents the rest of the file
# from working, so remove it when you need protection).
# The rules here work on a "First match wins" basis.
ALL : ALL : allow

Running ipmon I see the requests go out (eventually, note it takes about 
30 seconds or so to get this output):

Both hosts are in DNS, forward and reverse so IP validation should work. 
I set NFS ip paranoia to 0 in sysctl to no effect as well.

My Google Fu has failed me miserably.Any suggestions would be helpful, 
even if that suggestion is "Use UDP, it's fine".

Thanks!
