I'm not sure "mountvers=2" ever really fixed anyone's problems.

The command I usually use is:

    mount -t nfs -o nolock 10.1.1.1:/home /home

And my /etc/fstab is empty.

We'll assume that:

1. 'host' /etc/exports contains:
    /exports/home *(rw)
   or something equivalent.

2. that ping to 'host' works. :-)  [One time it didn't for me... real
    head scratcher.]

3. That Config.h enables BB_FEATURE_NFSMOUNT.
   (You are using glibc, so INCLUDE_RPC in uclibc not relevant).

4. That /mnt is a preexisting (empty) directory.

HTH,
Geoff
