+.BR stale_rw :
+This option maintains an index (cache) of directory inodes which is used by the
+nfs-related code to improve look-ups. Full file operations (read/write) over
+NFS are supported but with cache eviction at NFS server, this could result in

+
+.BR nostale_ro :
+This option bases the inode number and filehandle
+on the on-disk location of a file in the FAT directory entry.
+This ensures that
+.B ESTALE
+will not be returned after a file is
+evicted from the inode cache. However, it means that operations
+such as rename, create and unlink could cause filehandles that
+previously pointed at one file to point at a different file,
+potentially causing data corruption. For this reason, this
+option also mounts the filesystem readonly.
