Description of problem:

I am reading the "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Deployment Guide" for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5. There is an error in Chapter "18.4. Common NFS Mount Options".

This chapter mentions the 'fsid=num ' option, and says that "These options can
be used with manual mount commands, /etc/fstab settings, and autofs." Please see
the URL above for the specific paragraph.

This is incorrect. The "fsid=" option can only be used by a NFS server when
exporting NFS filesystems.

'fsid' is not a valid  NFS client option, and cannot be used with manual mount
commands, /etc/fstab settings, or autofs.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. For example, I have the following NFS options in /etc/fstab. 

nfs1:/export1/test      /mnt/test          nfs     vers=3,fsid=6666 0 0

2. However, these options will fail, with a "Bad nfs mount parameter" error:

root@host:~ $ mount /mnt/test
Bad nfs mount parameter: fsid


Additional info:

In addition, 'fsid' is not mentioned in the NFS clientNFS(5) man page. This
parameter is discussed in the EXPORTS(5) man page.
