That works for me, thank you. Perhaps the fstab(5) page could be clearer
then. It says:
The fourth field, (fs_mntops), describes the mount options associated
with the file system. It is formatted as a comma separated list of
options. It contains at least the type of mount (see fs_type below) plus
any additional options appropriate to the file system type. See the
options flag (-o) in the mount(8) page and the file system specific page,
such as mount_nfs(8), for additional options that may be specified.
and also later:
struct fstab {
char *fs_spec; /* block special device name */
char *fs_file; /* file system path prefix */
char *fs_vfstype; /* File system type, ufs, nfs */
char *fs_mntops; /* Mount options ala -o */ <<<<<<<
char *fs_type; /* FSTAB_* from fs_mntops */
int fs_freq; /* dump frequency, in days */
int fs_passno; /* pass number on parallel fsck */
};
When I read this, the implication to me was that only options which you
could pass using -o to mount or mount_nfs were permitted.
Cheers,
Brian.
