This has always worked up to and including fedora 10, but with fedora 11,
I get a mount error saying an illegal option was specified. That error
is apparently a wild goose chase, but after much poking around, I found
that if I add an additional option "proto=udp" to the options list, the
mount seems to work fine. So it seems like the ability to negotiate with
the server for what protocol to support has disappeared in the fedora 11
nfs mount process.
The specific error looks like:
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nfs-utils-1.1.5-6.fc11.i586
system-config-nfs-docs-1.0.6-1.fc11.noarch
system-config-nfs-1.3.44-1.fc11.noarch
nfs-utils-lib-1.1.4-6.fc11.i586
How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual results:
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
Expected results:
figure out the server only talks udp and mount that way.
Description of problem:
I've been using lines much like this for years and years to mount remote
filesystems from various older systems with older NFS servers:
dino:/tt/carbon /tt/carbon nfs rw,bg,soft, intr,rsize= 8192,wsize= 8192 0 0
