+ stale_rw:This option maintains an index (cache) of directory
+ inodes by i_logstart which is used by the nfs-related code to
+ improve look-ups.Full file operations (read/write) over NFS is supported
+ but with cache eviction at NFS server, this could result in ESTALE issues.
+
+ nostale_ro:This option bases the inode number and filehandle on the on-disk
+ location of a file in the MS-DOS directory entry.This ensures that ESTALE
+ will not be returned after a file is evicted from the inode cache. However,
+ it means that operations such as rename, create and unlink could cause
+ filehandles that previously pointed at one file to point at a different file,
+ potentially causing data corruption. For this reason, this option also mounts
+ the filesystem readonly.
+
+ To maintain backward compatibility, '-o nfs' is also accepted, defaulting to
+ stale_rw
