I'd rather try to approach this from a less brute force approach. As it stands now, the number of arguments to doPwMount is getting fairly unmanageable. If we're going to make changes to doPwMount, we should probably make it closer to just a wrapper of mount(2). The various integer flags should probably become a bitmask. The account and password arguments are only there for (obsolete) SMB support, so should just be dropped. Instead of adding an NFS specific option, maybe doing just a pointer to fs specific options makes more sense. I'll probably do this later tonight now that I've written out a description of it ;) For the other side of things, I'd rather see the nfs options in the 'nfs' kickstart directive and with special handling in ks=nfs:... rather than making another bit of global data. Although this doesn't help the interactive case right now, we'll probably going to have to do something for when we add NFSv4 support anyway, so this is a logical step to move things in the right direction.
