This is for the binary mount stuff? That was already legacy code when I first started, and mount uses text options now. My preference is for keeping it as close to the original code as possible.
Ok. Al, are you fine with the series as-is then?
I'm curious if you've been able to test this? I'm not sure if there is a way to force binary mount data through mount.nfs
The test is pretty trivial - even the most recent nfsutils supports the binary mount data. You just need to patch out the detection for a modern kernel.
