You're right. I was assuming that this patch just exposes existing command line options as they are. But before patch 1 of this series, the options aren't actual command line options, but just the query parameter names in URIs. As we have to put these into the QDict explicitly anyway in nfs_parse_uri(), we can still make a choice on the name of the options there. So I support renaming things before we expose them. I'll reply again to your original proposal for the exact naming. Kevin
