mount(8) says:
-o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separat-
ed string of options. The following options are available:
... generic options elided ...
The options specific to NFS filesystems are described in the
mount_nfs(8) manual page.
But mount_nfs(8) says:
-o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separat-
ed string of options. See the mount(8) man page for possible op-
tions and their meanings.
Did these options (commonly "rsize", "wsize", "timeo", "retry", et al.) get
moved to another man page, or is it send-pr time?
We have some software for a Pioneer 500 CD CD-ROM jukebox that allows one to
handle NFS serving and XFS (CD-ROM) serving from the same machine, iff we
run the XFS replacement "mountd" on a different port; e.g. 2050. SunOS and
Solaris allow the "port=NNNN" option on NFS mounts to handle the case where
the NFS server is listening to a non-default port number; I was trying to find
out if NetBSD supported it as well. (A cursory glance at mount_nfs.c makes
it appear not.)
