Use default options: rw, suid, dev, exec, auto,
nouser, and async.
The default is async, no?
The server side also needs to specify async in exports. You even get a
warning if you do not specify sync or async, because the default had
been changed once.
What is the date on the above man page? Looks like the docs need to be
updated.
I believe the default was originally async, which violates the NFS spec
and is dangerous, and changed to sync at some point.
