@ -150,12 +150,28 @@ discard -- If set, issues discard/TRIM commands to the block
device when blocks are freed. This is useful for SSD devices
and sparse/thinly-provisoned LUNs.

nfs=stale_rw|nostale_ro
Enable this only if you want to export the FAT filesystem
over NFS.
stale_rw: This option maintains an index (cache) of directory
inodes by i_logstart which is used by the nfs-related code to
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
Enable this only if you want to export the FAT filesystem
over NFS
