I also notice that the man pages are a bit dated (Apr 21, > 2006), Are there any plans to update that :-) If the software is mature, there usually aren't that many changes to the manual page. And I wonder how many people are actually using NFS these days. In offices, SMB/CIFS seems paramount these days. > ?

The `cache_duration` parameter is the one you're looking for, I think. After entries are dropped from the cache due to inactivity, amd tries to unmount them. See also `dismount_interval`.
