This has been bugging me for a couple of days, and I can't figure out
if I'm missing something or the fstab (or another) man page is.

From the example in the fstab man page:

server:/export/ports /usr/ports nfs rw,nodev,nosuid,tcp,soft,intr 0 0

Many of the options in the fourth field are explained in the various
mount man pages but as far as I can see for the NFS example things
like soft and tcp aren't.

In the mount_nfs man page you can see the options for soft, tcp, or
udp (-s, -T, -U respectively) but I don't see where the options valid
for fstab are explicitly listed.  I know in these three cases it's an
easy guess but I don't know if all the NFS options are as easily
guessable.

So, am I missing where the valid options for NFS entries in fstab are
listed?  I notice on some other OSes that there is a man 5 nfs which
shows all the options valid for fstab.

Thanks,
Greg
