NFS question...

I've checked the man pages for fstab and mount but the information was a bit jumbled...on one of our servers we have an nfs file system being mounted my question is about all the options at the end:
someserver-p1.some.domain.com:/bckup /nfs/bckup.someothers nfs |soft,rw,suid 0 0|

What are the options between the pipes?
Today is different and tomorrow the same.

Re: NFS question...

soft = return an error if the remote server does not respond.

rw = mount read/write capable

suid = allow suid scripts

For specifics for NFS mounts do a:

# man mount_nfs
