busybox with NFS version 4 ?

[Steven Shiau]

The same program "mount" from busybox 1.2.0 can mount directory from
nfs3 server successfully by:
mount -t nfs -o ro 192.168.100.254:/tftpboot/node_root /sysroot
However, when I tried to run it like:
mount -t nfs4 -o ro 192.168.100.254:/ /sysroot
It complained "mount: Mounting 192.168.100.254:/ on /mnt failed: Invalid
argument"

nfs4 is not compatible with nfs3, I am trying to following this
http://nfsv4.bullopensource.org/doc/NFS3_NFS4_migration.pdf
to migrate from nfs3 to nfs4.
Now only succeeded with the program "mount" from util-linux, not "mount"
from busybox. I wish it can be done in busybox.

Thanks.

Regards,
Steven.
