As fstab(5) does not explain any options except the generic ones
rw ro sw xx
[no]auto (user|group)quota
I think fstab(5) does not lack anything.

Indeed, i would say several options are missing from mount_nfs(8).

Be careful not to jump to conclusions;
the last one is "mntudp", not "udp".

Do not guess. When in dire need, read the fantastic source.
OpenBSD source is mostly fun to read.
/usr/src/sbin/mount_nfs/mount_nfs.c
const struct mntopt mopts[]
Ha, I knew I was missing something! The source, of course, the source!

Hmmm, nfs(5) does not seem like the place to put this in OpenBSD.
Yeah, I didn't think it was very appropriate either.
Thanks!
