Hi,

yesterday, I ran into something that puzzled me quite a bit.  I had an
NFS file system (my home directory) mounted in its normal location. For
testing purposes, I wanted to mount it a second time, but with a different
set of options (hard instead of soft, etc).

To my surprise, the second mount continued to act like the original
mount, as if it had been mounted with -o soft. /etc/mtab showed the
options I had specified, but /proc/mounts showed that it indeed used
soft retransmits.

To make a long story short, I think _if_ we do NFS super block
sharing, we should make sure we use don't reuse an existing
sb if it has different options. Attached is a patch that implements
this, at least for the most common set of options.

Comments?

Olaf
