The flags can be passed via fstab too.
This is documented in "man mount" at bottom of "-o options"
For example the -b (bg) can be specified as:
> server:/export/shared /mnt nfs rw,nodev,nosuid,soft,intr,bg 0 0
server:/export/shared /mnt nfs rw,nodev,nosuid,soft,intr,-b 0 0
I agree it would be nice if the option words were in the mount_nfs manpage.
flag option
-2 nfsv2
-3 nfsv3
-b bg
-c conn
-d dumbtimer
-i intr
-l rdirplus
-s soft
-T tcp
-U mntudp
resvport
That last one doesn't have a matching flag (that I can see).
