as I did not change anything on the line (using arrow up all the time) I am out of ideas what could potentially have caused this issue.
Any help is much appreciated!
The NFS protocol version number used to contact the server’s NFS service. If the server does not support the requested version, the mount request fails. If this option is not specified, the client negotiates a suitable version with the server, trying version 4 first, version 3 second, and version 2 last.
vers=n
This option is an alternative to the nfsvers option. It is included for compatibility with other operating systems.
won’t work for me - glad that it still works for @linux-aarhus , but my NFS won’t mount at all…
trried every combo of attributes and no attributes, always ending upo in the same error:
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
kind of frustrating, to be honest.
(and again, it was working as expected (except foir the automount via fstab, that never worked, for whatever reason, see my fstab file in orignal post) - but at leastz the manual mount was working fine, which is good enough for me.
I have never had much success with network shares in fstab - and I was reliefed when I finally learned how to use the mount units.
It is impossible to suggest anything when there’s no apparent visible flaws in the options or it is the proverbial tree blocking the view of the forest .
Have you tried reconstructing the file from scratch - no copy paste but regular rewrite?
Have you tried commenting the line in fstab and using mount units like the ones I posted above? They will of course need slight modification in terms of naming - to match your mountpoint and share location - something like this (I assume the *** and servername are placeholders and you modify correspondingly) (username suggests - norwegian origin? )

@linux-aarhus first of all: Kudos my friend, for going the extra mile here - supremely apprechiated!
Origin is Germany, btw.
I will try what you suggested.
Let me just clarify if I get it right: you suggest to comment the lines from fstab file (to “undo” them) and rewrite the fstab from scratch?
but if I am not mistaken the code blocks from your post are not fstab, but a file in the etc/systemd/system folder, right?
The suggestions are two different approaches as to getting closer to a solution whereas the first is continuing to troubleshoot the fstab entry (by commenting the existing line and type in a new line) - and the second is an adapted version of my working setup.
I have no idea why you are getting the mentionen message - no clue at all. I suggest you try second method - and create the two unit-files in the /etc/systemd/system folder as described - and then start and enable the automount unit.
Don’t merge them - they must be two units .mount and .automount - and only .automount is ever to be enabled. The .automount unit takes care of enabling the .mount unit when required - as in accessing the mountpoint.
Norwegian, Danish and German has a lot in common - language wise - German was the language of the Danish court for centuries. And while I spoke a decent German when I was a teenager - I have not kept it alive - english is used in so much communication - I sometimes have difficulties finding the right danish expressions.
