8 | Choose Y here if you want to access files residing on other | ||

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. You cannot compile this file system as a | ||

44 | help | ||
45 | Some NFS servers support an auxiliary NFSv3 ACL protocol that | ||
46 | Sun added to Solaris but never became an official part of the | ||
47 | NFS version 3 protocol. 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. | ||

69 | (RFC 3530) in the kernel's NFS client. | ||
