Package: mount
Version: 2.12r-19
Severity: normal

In addition to #414160 and #289436, the nfs.5 man page has some other
seemingly outdated text:

       The tcp and namlen options are implemented but are not currently  sup‐
       ported by the Linux kernel.

AFAIK tcp is supported, it's even the default according to #414160..

       rsize=n        The number of bytes NFS uses when reading files from an
                      NFS server.  The default value is dependent on the ker‐
                      nel,  currently  1024  bytes.   (However, throughput is
                      improved greatly by asking for rsize=8192.)

       wsize=n        The number of bytes NFS uses when writing files  to  an
                      NFS server.  The default value is dependent on the ker‐
                      nel, currently 1024  bytes.   (However,  throughput  is
                      improved greatly by asking for wsize=8192.)

mount(8) also mentions a default size, though it contradicts nfs(5), claiming
it's 4096. I suspect that none of these values are right with current
kernels.

(The fact that the man page claims to document linux 0.99 and be from 1993 is
also not confidence-inspiring..)
