Are you sure? I haven't tried it recently, but ISTR that only the words
allowed with the -o option can be given in the fstab options field, and
fstab(5) seems to agree. In this case it should be OK to use

SRVR:/nfs/share /some/mount/point nfs rw,tcp,intr 0 0

- but not all mount_xxx options are available in -o form. Hm,
mount_nfs(8) lists those as "Historic" and "deprecated" - hopefully that
just refers to their usage with mount_nfs, the possibility to specify
mount_xxx options in fstab is something that should be extended IMHO,
not reduced...
