I thought documenting this, but we don't really have a section to cover
this, and it isn't really Guix specific...

So, closing.

Thank you.

I encountered this too.  Perhaps we should patch some references to
mount.nfs (from nfs-utils) in the util-linux package which provides
'mount'.

In the meantime, you should use "mount.nfs" directly.

I'm opening an issue to track progress on this.

Thank you,

Maxim
