On stock Fedora 13, you can add extra options to mount (srcaddr=1.2.3.4) and if you patch the kernel to parse it, then all works well (mount and/or mount.nfs just passes the options directly to the kernel it seems.)

With the git://git.infradead.org/users/steved/nfs-utils.git tree, mount.nfs errors out with 'bad option'.

What is the preferred way to go about adding new options?

Thanks,
Ben

Try using git://linux-nfs.org/~steved/exports/nfs-utils
