+		 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
