27.Sh NAME
28.Nm nfs
29.Nd NFS configuration properties
30.Sh DESCRIPTION
31The behavior of the
32.Xr nfsd 8 ,
33.Xr nfsmapid 8 ,
34.Xr lockd 8 ,
35and
36.Xr mountd 8
37daemons and
38.Xr mount_nfs 8
39command is controlled by property values that are stored in the Service
40Management Facility, smf(7).
41The
42.Xr sharectl 8
43command should be used to query or change values for these properties.
44.Pp
45Changes made to
46.Nm
47property values on the
48.Nm nfsd ,
49.Nm lockd ,
50.Nm mountd ,
51or
52.Nm mount_nfs
53command line override the values set using
54.Xr sharectl 8 .
55.Pp
56The following list describes the properties:
57.Bl -tag -width Ds
58.It Xo
59.Sy client_versmin Ns = Ns Ar num
60.br
61.Sy client_versmax Ns = Ns Ar num
62.Xc
63The NFS client only uses NFS versions in the range specified by these
64properties.
65Valid values of versions are: 2, 3, and 4.
66Default minimum version is
67.Li 2 ,
68while default maximum is
69.Li 4 .
70.Pp
71You can override this range on a per-mount basis by using the
72.Fl o Sy vers Ns =
73option to
74.Xr mount_nfs 8 .
75.It Xo
76.Sy server_versmin Ns = Ns Ar num
77.br
78.Sy server_versmax Ns = Ns Ar num
79.Xc
80The NFS server only uses NFS versions in the range specified by these
81properties.
82Valid values of versions are: 2, 3, and 4.
83Default minimum version is
84.Li 2 ,
85while the default maximum version is
86.Li 4 .
87.It Sy server_delegation Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
88By default the NFS server provides delegations to clients.
89The user can turn off delegations for all exported filesystems by setting this
90variable to
91.Li off .
92This variable only applies to NFS Version 4.
93.It Sy nfsmapid_domain Ns = Ns Op Ar string
94By default, the
95.Nm nfsmapid
96uses the DNS domain of the system.
97This setting overrides the default.
98This domain is used for identifying user and group attribute strings in the NFS
99Version 4 protocol.
100Clients and servers must match with this domain for operation to proceed
101normally.
102This variable only applies to NFS Version 4.
103See
104.Sx Setting nfsmapid_domain
105below for further details.
106.It Sy max_connections Ns = Ns Ar num
107Sets the maximum number of concurrent, connection-oriented connections.
108The default is
109.Li -1
110.Pq unlimited .
111Equivalent to the
112.Fl c
113option in
114.Nm nfsd .
115.It Sy listen_backlog Ns = Ns Ar num
116Set connection queue length for the NFS over a connection-oriented transport.
117The default value is
118.Li 32 ,
119meaning 32 entries in the queue.
120Equivalent to the
121.Fl l
122option in
123.Nm nfsd .
124.It Sy protocol Ns = Ns Op Sy all Ns | Ns Ar protocol
125Start
126.Nm nfsd
127over the specified protocol only.
128Equivalent to the
129.Fl p
130option in
131.Nm nfsd .
132.Sy all
133is equivalent to
134.Fl a
135on the
136.Nm nfsd
137command line.
138Mutually exclusive of
139.Sy device .
140For the UDP protocol, only version 2 and version 3 service is established.
141NFS Version 4 is not supported for the UDP protocol.
142.It Sy device Ns = Ns Op Ar devname
143Start NFS daemon for the transport specified by the given device only.
144Equivalent to the
145.Fl t
146option in
147.Nm nfsd .
148Mutually exclusive of
149.Sy protocol .
150.It Sy servers Ns = Ns Ar num
151Maximum number of concurrent NFS requests.
152Equivalent to last numeric argument on the
153.Nm nfsd
154command line.
155The default is
156.Li 1024 .
157.It Sy lockd_listen_backlog Ns = Ns Ar num
158Set connection queue length for
159.Nm lockd
160over a connection-oriented transport.
161The default and minimum value is
162.Li 32 .
163.It Sy lockd_servers Ns = Ns Ar num
164Maximum number of concurrent
165.Nm lockd
166requests.
167The default is 256.
168.It Sy lockd_retransmit_timeout Ns = Ns Ar num
169Retransmit timeout, in seconds, before
170.Nm lockd
171retries.
172The default is
173.Li 5 .
174.It Sy grace_period Ns = Ns Ar num
175Grace period, in seconds, that all clients
176.Pq both NLM and NFSv4
177have to reclaim locks after a server reboot.
178This parameter also controls the NFSv4 lease interval.
179The default is
180.Li 90 .
181.It Sy mountd_listen_backlog Ns = Ns Ar num
182Set the connection queue length for
183.Nm mountd
184over a connection-oriented transport.
185The default value is
186.Li 64 .
187.It Sy mountd_max_threads Ns = Ns Ar num
188Maximum number of threads for
189.Nm mountd .
190The default value is
191.Li 16 .
192.It Sy mountd_port Ns = Ns Ar num
193The IP port number on which
194.Nm mountd
195should listen.
196The default value is
197.Li 0 ,
198which means it should use a default binding.
199.It Sy mountd_remote_dump Ns = Ns Ar boolean
200Should
201.Nm mountd
202respond to remote
203.Sy MOUNTPROC_DUMP
204queries to read the list of remote mounts.
205The default value is
206.Li false ,
207which means only queries from local host will be allowed.
208.It Sy statd_port Ns = Ns Ar num
209The IP port number on which
210.Nm statd
211should listen.
212The default value is
213.Li 0 ,
214which means it should use a default binding.
215.El
216.Ss Setting nfsmapid_domain
217As described above, the setting for
218.Sy nfsmapid_domain
219overrides the domain used by
220.Xr nfsmapid 8
221for building and comparing outbound and inbound attribute strings, respectively.
222This setting overrides any other mechanism for setting the NFSv4 domain.
223In the absence of a
224.Sy nfsmapid_domain
225setting, the
226.Xr nfsmapid 8
227daemon determines the NFSv4 domain as follows:
228.Bl -bullet
229.It
230If a properly configured
231.Pa /etc/resolv.conf
232.Po see
233.Xr resolv.conf 5
234.Pc
235exists,
236.Nm nfsmapid
237queries specified nameserver(s) for the domain.
238.It
239If a properly configured
240.Pa /etc/resolv.conf
241.Po see
242.Xr resolv.conf 5
243.Pc
244exists, but the queried nameserver does not have a proper record of the domain
245name,
246.Nm nfsmapid
247attempts to obtain the domain name through the BIND interface
248.Po see
249.Xr resolver 3RESOLV
250.Pc .
251.It
252If no
253.Pa /etc/resolv.conf
254exists,
255.Nm nfsmapid
256falls back on using the configured domain name
257.Po see
258.Xr domainname 8
259.Pc ,
260which is returned with the leading domain suffix removed.
261For example, for
262.Li widgets.sales.example.com ,
263.Li sales.example.com
264is returned.
265.It
266If
267.Pa /etc/resolv.conf
268does not exist, no domain name has been configured
269.Po or no
270.Pa /etc/defaultdomain
271exists
272.Pc ,
273.Nm nfsmapid
274falls back on obtaining the domain name from the host name, if the host name
275contains a fully qualified domain name
276.Pq FQDN .
277.El
278.Pp
279If a domainname is still not obtained following all of the preceding steps,
280.Nm nfsmapid
281will have no domain configured.
282This results in the following behavior:
283.Bl -bullet
284.It
285Outbound
286.Qq owner
287and
288.Qq owner_group
289attribute strings are encoded as literal id's.
290For example, the UID 12345 is encoded as
291.Li 12345 .
292.It
293.Nm nfsmapid
294ignores the
295.Qq domain
296portion of the inbound attribute string and performs name service lookups only
297for the user or group.
298If the user/group exists in the local system name service databases, then the
299proper uid/gid will be mapped even when no domain has been configured.
300.Pp
301This behavior implies that the same administrative user/group domain exists
302between NFSv4 client and server (that is, the same uid/gid's for users/groups
303on both client and server).
304In the case of overlapping id spaces, the inbound attribute string could
305potentially be mapped to the wrong id.
306However, this is not functionally different from mapping the inbound string to
307.Sy nobody ,
308yet provides greater flexibility.
309.El
310.Sh ZONES
311NFS can be served out of a non-global zone.
312All of the above documentation applies to an in-zone NFS server.
313File sharing in zones is restricted to filesystems a zone completely controls.
314Some zone brands (see
315.Xr brands 7 )
316do not give the zone's root its own filesystem, for example.
317Delegated ZFS datasets to a zone are shareable, as well as lofs-remounted
318directories.
319The zone must have sys_nfs privileges; most brands grant this already.
