"man nfs" will give you the available options.  As far as where you
specify them at mount time, that's in /etc/fstab.

"mount" alone should show you which non-default options were actually
used.  Those not displayed use the defaults shown in "man nfs":

	[root at smtp-01-001 bin]# mount -l -t nfs
	netapp2:/VIRTMAIL on /virtmail type nfs
		(rw,tcp,hard,noac,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,
		nfsvers=3,addr=10.24.1.4)

The stuff not displayed use the defaults.  The corresponding line in
/etc/fstab (wrapped for easier reading) is:

	netapp2:/VIRTMAIL     /virtmail      nfs   \
		rw,tcp,hard,noac,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nfsvers=3

Ok?
