8 Choose Y here if you want to access files residing on other
9 computers using Sun's Network File System protocol. 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. You cannot compile this file system as a
28 module in this case.
29
30 If unsure, say N.

35 help
36 This option enables support for version 3 of the NFS protocol
37 (RFC 1813) in the kernel's NFS client.

39 If unsure, say Y.

41config NFS_V3_ACL
42 bool "NFS client support for the NFSv3 ACL protocol extension"
43 depends on NFS_V3
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.
60
61 If unsure, say N.

68 This option enables support for version 4 of the NFS protocol
69 (RFC 3530) in the kernel's NFS client.
70
71 To mount NFS servers using NFSv4, you also need to install user
72 space programs which can be found in the Linux nfs-utils package,
73 available from http://linux-nfs.org/.

90 If you want your system to mount its root file system via NFS,
91 choose Y here. This is common practice for managing systems
92 without local permanent storage. For details, read
