NFS mounts fail to pick up options in /etc/fstab while retrying mount, why ?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • NFS mounts are not showing the mount options that are specified in /etc/fstab for a particular share after a remount.

  • When an nfs server goes down at the time the shares are mounted by clients and then comes up after some time, the clients (after remounting) does not show the same mount options in the 'mount' output as before.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.3 [NFS server]

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.3 [NFS client]
