To compile 10 this file system support as a module, choose M here: the module 11 will be called nfs. 12 13 To mount file systems exported by NFS servers, you also need to 14 install the user space mount.nfs command which can be found in 15 the Linux nfs-utils package, available from http://linux-nfs.org/. 16 Information about using the mount command is available in the 17 mount(8) man page. More detail about the Linux NFS client 18 implementation is available via the nfs(5) man page. 19 20 Below you can choose which versions of the NFS protocol are 21 available in the kernel to mount NFS servers. Support for NFS 22 version 2 (RFC 1094) is always available when NFS_FS is selected. 23 24 To configure a system which mounts its root file system via NFS 25 at boot time, say Y here, select "Kernel level IP 26 autoconfiguration" in the NETWORK menu, and select "Root file 27 system on NFS" below.

This protocol extension allows 48 applications on NFS clients to manipulate POSIX Access Control 49 Lists on files residing on NFS servers. NFS servers enforce 50 ACLs on local files whether this protocol is available or not. 51 52 Choose Y here if your NFS server supports the Solaris NFSv3 ACL 53 protocol extension and you want your NFS client to allow 54 applications to access and modify ACLs on files on the server. 55 56 Most NFS servers don't support the Solaris NFSv3 ACL protocol 57 extension. You can choose N here or specify the "noacl" mount 58 option to prevent your NFS client from trying to use the NFSv3 59 ACL protocol. 60 61 If unsure, say N. 62 63config NFS_V4 64 bool "NFS client support for NFS version 4" 65 depends on NFS_FS 66 help 67 This option enables support for version 4 of the NFS protocol 68 (RFC 3530) in the kernel's NFS client. 69 70 To mount NFS servers using NFSv4, you also need to install user 71 space programs which can be found in the Linux nfs-utils package, 72 available from http://linux-nfs.org/. 73 74 If unsure, say Y. 75 76config NFS_V4_1 77 bool "NFS client support for NFSv4.1 (EXPERIMENTAL)" 78 depends on NFS_V4 && EXPERIMENTAL 79 help 80 This option enables support for minor version 1 of the NFSv4 protocol 81 (draft-ietf-nfsv4-minorversion1) in the kernel's NFS client. 82 83 If unsure, say N. 84 85config ROOT_NFS 86 bool "Root file system on NFS" 87 depends on NFS_FS=y && IP_PNP 88 help 89 If you want your system to mount its root file system via NFS, 90 choose Y here.
