+The options passed as @var{fs_option}s are meant to augment or change those

+command line options. For example, passing @code{--readonly} to a file system
+server will change the server from writable to read-only, but will not touch

+@file{/servers/socket/2} will change the local IP address to @var{new_IP}, but
+will not touch the interface, netmask and gateway settings.
