I agree with this.  Have an "Advanced Options" button or something that 
will display these options.  Default state should be hidden.  It could 
get really ugly if the user starts mucking around with options like (r, 
hard, and sync).

The reason I say this is that the default settings for NFS should be 
sufficient in the majority of cases.  Further, you would think that the 
NFS maintainers carefully selected and tested the default option set for 
a variety of scenarios, I'd be hesitant to make it easy to override them 
unless there is a ground swell of NFS problems.

Most of the NFS problems that I've seen are related to server-side 
permissions and cannot be resolved by the client.
