You can user Secure NFS instead of NFS, which uses SSH to comunicate that is 
TCP, but it performance is not great.

Does anyone know how to start the NFS server so that it listens using TCP
instead of UDP? I'm trying to use port forwarding in SSH to allow a remote
machine to mount an exported filesystem. However, SSH port forwarding only
works with TCP, and my understanding is that it won't work out of the box
with NFS because the NFS server uses UDP by default.

So any idea how to make the NFS server listen over TCP?

Thanks,
