Looking at the code (on 3.2-STABLE) it looks like the suggested warning
could be added but inserting
warnx("WARNING: path@server syntax is deprecated, use server:path");
before line 667 of /usr/src/sbin/mount_nfs.c. But I don't see anywhere
where it differentiates between delimitors and path-components. It is just a
simple strchr() and the first @ or : it finds is assumed the be the
delimitor. If you meant it as a path-component, you are SOL. In light of
that, I think that adding the warning on line 667 then would be all that is
needed. Unfortunately, this is just from my read of that section of code, as
I don't have NFS running anywhere to test the actual behavior.
