Much as with gcc, if mount command option "foo" exists which can be inverted, then there will be a "nofoo" option. Also, I am unsure where you find mention that "lockd" is deprecated, and I see an entry for "nolockd" here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mount_nfs&sektion=8 > So, my question is: what options *are* currently supported? > > For instance, I'm doing, right now: > > rw,noauto,intr,nolockd > > which isn't generating any errors, but intr is classified in the man page as deprecated, so what *should* I be using instead?

As for the default version being used, this is documented as: "nfsv2 Use the NFS Version 2 protocol (the default is to try version 3 first then version 2). Note that NFS version 2 has a file size limit of 2 gigabytes." ...and you can run "rpcinfo -p _fileserver_" to view the version of the RPC services available. Regards, -- -Chuck
