I use RancherOS 1.4.2 `rancheros-vmware.iso` successfully mount directory form my nfs server.  
RancherOS `mount` command is build from busybox, not the GNU `mount` command, so there maybe some different.RancherOS has no `mount.nfs` & `mount.nfs4` which installed by `nfs-common` by default, so without `mount.nfs...` user need to add options.

```auto
#cloud-config
mounts:
- ["192.168.1.109:/mnt/data", "/mnt/test", "nfs4", "nolock,proto=tcp,addr=192.168.1.109"]

```

output:

```auto
[root@rancheros-nfs docker]# ls /mnt/test
1.txt

```

I also try on `1.5.0-rc1` rancheros.iso, the result is success, maybe needs more testing.

```auto
[root@rancher rancher]# ros -v
version v1.5.0-rc1 from os image rancher/os:v1.5.0-rc1

```

```auto
[root@rancher rancher]# ros c export
mounts:
- - 192.168.1.79:/mnt/data
  - /mnt/test
  - nfs4
  - ""
rancher:
  environment:
    EXTRA_CMDLINE: /init
  services_include:
    open-vm-tools: true
  state:
    dev: LABEL=RANCHER_STATE
    wait: true
ssh_authorized_keys: []

```

Okay, but how do I define a mount using the disk’s uuid?
