Hi
I asked myself this question many many times, and found out the answer
is a bit "hidden in plain sight" on the man page for mount:
Any additional options specific to a given file system type (see the
-t option) may be passed as a comma separated list; these options
are distinguished by a leading “-” (dash). Options that take a
value are specified using the syntax -option=value. For example:
# mount -t mfs -o rw,nodev,nosuid,-s=153600 /dev/sd0b /tmp
So my fstab has lines like:
10.17.18.10:/backups /nfs/backups nfs
rw,nodev,nosuid,soft,intr,tcp,bg,noatime,-a=4,-r=32768,-w=32768 0 0
