>Description:

Except of ``userquota'' and ``groupquota'' all descriptions for mount
options (e. g. ``intr'', ``soft'', ``bg'', etc.) are completely
missing from the man pages.  The possible options should be listed
stating which fs types they are valid for.

Sidenote: ``userquota'' and ``groupquota'' are probably only useful
for ufs.  This information is also omitted.

 This is intentional.
 
 	1) The old-style options are deprecated, and weren't even
 supported by 4.4-Lite.
 
 	2) The options are documented in the mount_foo(8) pages.  It
 is a bad idea to document them in fifteen different places.

 That is not the point.  Look in mount_nfs(8), you'll find a command
 line option ``-i'' for mount_nfs, but you won't find, what's supposed
 to go into /etc/fstab.  I can _guess_ that I have to change the
 the line
 
 /ftp@somewhere.dom.ain	/ftp	nfs	ro,soft,intr,bg	0 0
 
 to
 
 /ftp@somewhere.dom.ain	/ftp	nfs	ro,-s,-i,-b	0 0
 
 or
 
 /ftp@somewhere.dom.ain	/ftp	nfs	ro,s,i,b	0 0
 
 or what?  The man pages are not very clear about the new option
 style.

Rev. 1.5 of mount_nfs.8 now mentions the historic options, as 
`deprecated' (along with their recommended coutnerparts).
