If you want your Linux box to act as an NFS *server*, so that other
|
||||
computers on your local network which support NFS can access certain
|
||||
directories on your box transparently, you have two options: you can
|
||||
use the self-contained user space program nfsd, in which case you
|
||||
should say N here, or you can say Y and use the kernel based NFS
|
||||
server. The advantage of the kernel based solution is that it is
|
||||
faster.
|
||||
Choose Y here if you want to allow other computers to access
|
||||
files residing on this system using Sun's Network File System
|
||||
protocol. To compile the NFS server support as a module,
|
||||
choose M here: the module will be called nfsd.
|
||||
|
||||
In either case, you will need support software; the respective
|
||||
locations are given in the file <file:Documentation/Changes> in the
|
||||
NFS section.
|
||||
You may choose to use a user-space NFS server instead, in which
|
||||
case you can choose N here.
|
||||
|
||||
If you say Y here, you will get support for version 2 of the NFS
|
||||
protocol (NFSv2). If you also want NFSv3, say Y to the next question
|
||||
as well.
|
||||
To export local file systems using NFS, you also need to install
|
||||
user space programs which can be found in the Linux nfs-utils
|
||||
package, available from http://linux-nfs.org/. More detail about
|
||||
the Linux NFS server implementation is available via the
|
||||
exports(5) man page.
|
||||
|
||||
Please read the NFS-HOWTO, available from
|
||||
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
|
||||
Below you can choose which versions of the NFS protocol are
|
||||
available to clients mounting the NFS server on this system.
|
||||
Support for NFS version 2 (RFC 1094) is always available when
|
||||
CONFIG_NFSD is selected.
|
||||
|
||||
To compile the NFS server support as a module, choose M here: the
|
||||
module will be called nfsd. If unsure, say N.

Implement the NFSv3 ACL protocol extension for manipulating POSIX
|
||||
Access Control Lists on exported file systems. NFS clients should
|
||||
be compiled with the NFSv3 ACL protocol extension; see the
|
||||
CONFIG_NFS_V3_ACL option. If unsure, say N.
|
||||
Solaris NFS servers support an auxiliary NFSv3 ACL protocol that
|
||||
never became an official part of the NFS version 3 protocol.
|
||||
This protocol extension allows applications on NFS clients to
|
||||
manipulate POSIX Access Control Lists on files residing on NFS
|
||||
servers. NFS servers enforce POSIX ACLs on local files whether
|
||||
this protocol is available or not.
|
||||
|
||||
This option enables support in your system's NFS server for the
|
||||
NFSv3 ACL protocol extension allowing NFS clients to manipulate
|
||||
POSIX ACLs on files exported by your system's NFS server. NFS
|
||||
clients which support the Solaris NFSv3 ACL protocol can then
|
||||
access and modify ACLs on your NFS server.
|
||||
|
||||
To store ACLs on your NFS server, you also need to enable ACL-
|
||||
related CONFIG options for your local file systems of choice.
|
||||
|
||||
If unsure, say N.

If you would like to include the NFSv4 server as well as the NFSv2
|
||||
and NFSv3 servers, say Y here. This feature is experimental, and
|
||||
should only be used if you are interested in helping to test NFSv4.
|

This option enables support in your system's NFS server for
|
||||
version 4 of the NFS protocol (RFC 3530).
|
||||
|
||||
To export files using NFSv4, you need to install additional user
|
||||
space programs which can be found in the Linux nfs-utils package,
|
||||
available from http://linux-nfs.org/.
