Thank you! I've been scouring the man pages looking for this but
I cannot find any NFS-specific fstab mount options documented anywhere.

The man page for mount(8) states:

I would thus expect this to be in the mount_nfs(8) man page but it
doesn't seem to be there. Neither are soft and interruptible mounts.

The flags are all documented as passed on the command line, but the
abbreviations used in /etc/fstab are eluding me. Is it staring me in
the face somewhere or is this a legit gap in the NFS man pages?

Regards
Lloyd
