The NFS mount option should be called "grpid". This option is mentioned
by this name in the (X)NFS specification, and other vendors use that name,
so we should be compatible with that. It should be implemented, and
I have been pushed to do so, but did not get around to it so far.

There are a few other NFS attributes that need to be done, such as
acregmin, etc.
