Hi, The nfsmount() function checks if !bg before running switch(rpc_createerr.cf_stat). On the other hand, the nfs4mount() function does not, and results in exiting the loop on the first iteration even with the bg mount option. NOTE: This and the previous patch ("nfs-utils: mount options can be lost when using bg option") are relevant to non text-based mount options. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=529370 for details.
