I don't think that's necessary, if your program simply calls to the
'mount' command:
sudo strace -f -s200 mount localhost:/pub /tmp/pub
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[...]
[pid 19019] execve("/run/current-system/profile/sbin/mount.nfs",
["/run/current-system/profile/sbin/mount.nfs", "localhost:/pub", "/tmp/pub",
"-o", "rw"], 0x7fff431b5038 /* 21 vars */) = 0
[...]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
You see that mount ends up calling the mount.nfs binary, not mount.nfs4
(even though 'mount' reports this is using NFS v4.2).
If you have some software using mount.nfs4, that could be patched to
mount.nfs, as mount.nfs4 is just a symlink to mount.nfs.
Thanks,
Maxim
