@kris:

It is obvious that you are a beginner and did not understand what this is about. Sorry to say so. My problem has nothing whatsoever to do with /etc/fstab

Please try and read again what I wrote. Please understand that the mount options that I need are simply not understood anymore by the "nfs-common" package due to some stupid unnecessary changes that were done in Ubuntu 8.04 (everything worked fine with Ubuntu 7.10). And because of that it really doesn't matter where I put those options, e.g. onto the command line or into /etc/fstab

If you want to reproduce my problem please read my original posting again and try the steps I wrote there:

Quote from there:

"So it all boils down to the fact that this command (regardless how odd and pointless it may look):

sudo mount -t nfs -o rw,udp,mountvers=2,port=4242 localhost:/smb /smb

... works tip top on Ubuntu 7.10
... but does not work at all on Ubuntu 8.04"
