Hi Jeff-
Here's the kind of changes I'm thinking about for addressing some recently
noticed problems with text-based mounts.
These patches should address the following issues:
o The retrans= and timeo= settings don't have any effect if they are
specified before proto=
o If UDP is blocked, specifying "proto=tcp" doesn't work because the
kernel still uses mountproto=udp by default
o Sloppy mount options aren't ever allowed, so automounter maps that
contain options that aren't supported on Linux cause failed mounts
I think there are still important corner cases that aren't working as
well as they should, but this ought to be a good start.
