To compile the NFS server support as a module, 17 choose M here: the module will be called nfsd. 18 19 You may choose to use a user-space NFS server instead, in which 20 case you can choose N here. 21 22 To export local file systems using NFS, you also need to install 23 user space programs which can be found in the Linux nfs-utils 24 package, available from http://linux-nfs.org/. More detail about 25 the Linux NFS server implementation is available via the 26 exports(5) man page. 27 28 Below you can choose which versions of the NFS protocol are 29 available to clients mounting the NFS server on this system. 30 Support for NFS version 3 (RFC 1813) is always available when 31 CONFIG_NFSD is selected. 32 33 If unsure, say N. 34 35 config NFSD_V2 36 bool "NFS server support for NFS version 2 (DEPRECATED)" 37 depends on NFSD 38 default n 39 help 40 NFSv2 (RFC 1094) was the first publicly-released version of NFS. 41 Unless you are hosting ancient (1990's era) NFS clients, you don't 42 need this. 43 44 If unsure, say N. 45 46 config NFSD_V2_ACL 47 bool "NFS server support for the NFSv2 ACL protocol extension" 48 depends on NFSD_V2 49 50 config NFSD_V3_ACL 51 bool "NFS server support for the NFSv3 ACL protocol extension" 52 depends on NFSD 53 help 54 Solaris NFS servers support an auxiliary NFSv3 ACL protocol that 55 never became an official part of the NFS version 3 protocol. 56 This protocol extension allows applications on NFS clients to 57 manipulate POSIX Access Control Lists on files residing on NFS 58 servers. NFS servers enforce POSIX ACLs on local files whether 59 this protocol is available or not. 60 61 This option enables support in your system's NFS server for the 62 NFSv3 ACL protocol extension allowing NFS clients to manipulate 63 POSIX ACLs on files exported by your system's NFS server. NFS 64 clients which support the Solaris NFSv3 ACL protocol can then 65 access and modify ACLs on your NFS server. 66 67 To store ACLs on your NFS server, you also need to enable ACL- 68 related CONFIG options for your local file systems of choice. 69 70 If unsure, say N. 71 72 config NFSD_V4 73 bool "NFS server support for NFS version 4" 74 depends on NFSD && PROC_FS 75 select FS_POSIX_ACL 76 select RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5 77 select CRYPTO 78 select CRYPTO_MD5 79 select CRYPTO_SHA256 80 select GRACE_PERIOD 81 select NFS_V4_2_SSC_HELPER if NFS_V4_2 82 help 83 This option enables support in your system's NFS server for 84 version 4 of the NFS protocol (RFC 3530). 85 86 To export files using NFSv4, you need to install additional user 87 space programs which can be found in the Linux nfs-utils package, 88 available from http://linux-nfs.org/. 89 90 If unsure, say N. 91 92 config NFSD_PNFS 93 bool 94 95 config NFSD_BLOCKLAYOUT 96 bool "NFSv4.1 server support for pNFS block layouts" 97 depends on NFSD_V4 && BLOCK 98 select NFSD_PNFS 99 select EXPORTFS_BLOCK_OPS 100 help 101 This option enables support for the exporting pNFS block layouts 102 in the kernel's NFS server. The pNFS block layout enables NFS 103 clients to directly perform I/O to block devices accessible to both 104 the server and the clients. See RFC 5663 for more details. 105 106 If unsure, say N. 107 108 config NFSD_SCSILAYOUT 109 bool "NFSv4.1 server support for pNFS SCSI layouts" 110 depends on NFSD_V4 && BLOCK 111 select NFSD_PNFS 112 select EXPORTFS_BLOCK_OPS 113 help 114 This option enables support for the exporting pNFS SCSI layouts 115 in the kernel's NFS server. The pNFS SCSI layout enables NFS 116 clients to directly perform I/O to SCSI devices accessible to both 117 the server and the clients. See draft-ietf-nfsv4-scsi-layout for 118 more details. 119 120 If unsure, say N. 121 122 config NFSD_FLEXFILELAYOUT 123 bool "NFSv4.1 server support for pNFS Flex File layouts" 124 depends on NFSD_V4 125 select NFSD_PNFS 126 help 127 This option enables support for the exporting pNFS Flex File 128 layouts in the kernel's NFS server. The pNFS Flex File layout 129 enables NFS clients to directly perform I/O to NFSv3 devices 130 accessible to both the server and the clients. See 131 draft-ietf-nfsv4-flex-files for more details. 132 133 Warning, this server implements the bare minimum functionality 134 to be a flex file server - it is for testing the client, 135 not for use in production. 136 137 If unsure, say N. 138 139 config NFSD_V4_2_INTER_SSC 140 bool "NFSv4.2 inter server to server COPY" 141 depends on NFSD_V4 && NFS_V4_2 142 help 143 This option enables support for NFSv4.2 inter server to 144 server copy where the destination server calls the NFSv4.2 145 client to read the data to copy from the source server. 146 147 If unsure, say N. 148 149 config NFSD_V4_SECURITY_LABEL 150 bool "Provide Security Label support for NFSv4 server" 151 depends on NFSD_V4 && SECURITY 152 help 153 154 Say Y here if you want enable fine-grained security label attribute 155 support for NFS version 4. Security labels allow security modules like 156 SELinux and Smack to label files to facilitate enforcement of their policies. 157 Without this an NFSv4 mount will have the same label on each file. 158 159 If you do not wish to enable fine-grained security labels SELinux or 160 Smack policies on NFSv4 files, say N. 161 162 config NFSD_LEGACY_CLIENT_TRACKING 163 bool "Support legacy NFSv4 client tracking methods (DEPRECATED)" 164 depends on NFSD_V4 165 default y 166 help 167 The NFSv4 server needs to store a small amount of information on 168 stable storage in order to handle state recovery after reboot. Most 169 modern deployments upcall to a userland daemon for this (nfsdcld), 170 but older NFS servers may store information directly in a 171 recoverydir, or spawn a process directly using a usermodehelper 172 upcall. 173 174 These legacy client tracking methods have proven to be probelmatic 175 and will be removed in the future. Say Y here if you need support 176 for them in the interim.
