mount.nfs should support arbitrary option order

mount.nfs should support arbitrary option order

[Jan Engelhardt]

Hi,


currently it seems that mount.nfs only accepts -o as the last portion:


# mount.nfs -o foo a:/ /
usage: mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsih] [-o nfsoptions]
options:
        -r              Mount file system readonly
        -v              Verbose
        -V              Print version
        -w              Mount file system read-write
        -f              Fake mount, do not actually mount
        -n              Do not update /etc/mtab
        -s              Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail
        -h              Print this help
        nfsoptions      Refer to mount.nfs(8) or nfs(5)

# mount.nfs  a:/ / -o foo
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified


It would be nice if options can be specified anywhere. Especially
hard POSIX puts options first.
