CONFIG_NFSD: NFS server support

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_NFSD has multiple definitions:

NFS server support found in fs/nfsd/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_NFSD:

• prompt: NFS server support
• type: tristate
• depends on: ( CONFIG_INET ) && ( CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING ) && ( CONFIG_FSNOTIFY ) && ( CONFIG_MULTIUSER )
• defined in fs/nfsd/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.29–2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.17, 6.18-rc+HEAD
• modules built: nfsd, nfsd

Help text

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.

You may choose to use a user-space NFS server instead, in which case you can choose N here.

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.

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 3 (RFC 1813) is always available when NFSD is selected.

If unsure, say N.
