Thanks for the testing and packet capture. Unfortunately I cannot see anything interesting in them. As you say: the showmount and the mount;ls do actually work in both cases. You say that with 55.3 commands are less "reactive". I assume that means the response is slower. I cannot see any evidence of that in the trace - replies come within milliseconds. There is a known problem with QNAP which is triggered by a recent change in Linux NFS. We do have the fix to avoid triggering this bug but I don't think that update has been released yet. Once you get a kernel that was released after 22/Mar/2023 QNAP should be fine.
