Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Sender: linux-nfs-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 On stock Fedora 13, you can add extra options to mount (srcaddr=1.2.3.4) and if you patch the kernel to parse it, then all works well (mount and/or mount.nfs just passes the options directly to the kernel it seems.) With the git://git.infradead.org/users/steved/nfs-utils.git tree, mount.nfs errors out with 'bad option'. What is the preferred way to go about adding new options?
