As Robert Withrow wrote: > Can someone tell me where to *really* find the nfs mount options? In both man pages. The generic options (ro, rw, nosuid etc.) are explained in mount(8), while the NFS mount options are explained in mount_nfs(8): The options are: -3 Use the NFS Version 3 protocol (Version 2 is the default). -D Used with NQNFS to set the ``dead server threshold'' to the spec- -I Set the readdir read size to the specified value. The value -K Pass Kerberos authenticators to the server for client-to-server -L Used with NQNFS to set the lease term to the specified number of -P Use a reserved socket port number. This is useful for mounting -R Set the retry count for doing the mount to the specified value. -T Use TCP transport instead of UDP. This is recommended for -U Force the mount protocol to use UDP transport, even for TCP NFS -a Set the read-ahead count to the specified value. This may be in -b If an initial attempt to contact the server fails, fork off a -c For UDP mount points, do not do a connect(2). This must be used -d Turn off the dynamic retransmit timeout estimator. This may be -g Set the maximum size of the group list for the credentials to the -i Make the mount interruptible, which implies that file system -l Used with NQNFS and NFSV3 to specify that the ReaddirPlus RPC -m Set the Kerberos realm to the string argument.

You can also say mount -t nfs -o intr,bg machine:/resource /mountpoint Both of these options are not explained, we've still got an open PR for it (735, responsible: wollman ;), but these options are considered legacy that will not be explained. (At least, that's the net result from the discussion as you can read in GNATS.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
