Public bug reported:
When trying to do an nfs mount of a server that is down, the non-
sensical error message
'mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified'
is returned. E.g.
user@client:~$ sudo mount -t nfs server:/export /mnt/mntpt
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
If the -v option is passed to mount, the real problem is revealed:
user@client:~$ sudo mount -v -t nfs server:/export /mnt/mntpt
mount.nfs: timeout set for Fri Oct 14 10:32:43 2011
mount.nfs: text-based options: 'addr=192.168.10.58'
mount.nfs: mount(2): Operation not supported
mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'server:/export' failed: RPC Error: Program not
registered
