When user's nfs client(kernel) don't support NFSv4, maybe they build kernel without NFSv4, there is a problem. When using command "mount SERVER-IP:/nfsv3 /mnt/" to mount NFSv3 filesystem, mount will fail and get error: "mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified" as above, the mount should success, but it fail. When the mount command without specific NFS version, nfs-utils will try to mount NFSv4 at first, but the kernel don't support, the kernel will return with error EINVAL for parsing option (vers=4) fail. nfs-utils should continue to try mounting NFSv3 when meeting that.
