I also just submitted =
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D192379 to allow -o =
vers=3D mount_nfs compatibility, which makes it easier to integrate with =
Linux/OSX/Solaris LDAP setups and mount options from LDAP.

I found one case now doing the aforementioned where when the initial =
mount_nfs fails (e.g., for invalid options), then a later mount did not =
succeed either, with the correct mount options;  I did try to run =
automount -u in between tries, as well as service automountd restart, =
but that did not make a change;  given I was short on time, a reboot of =
my desktop made this go away.   Is there some =E2=80=9Cnegative =
caching=E2=80=9D in the kernel module possibly that will not retry the =
mount for another time or something=E2=80=94as in if I were more patient =
and waited 5 minutes, would it maybe just have worked again?
