+config NFS_FS
+ tristate "NFS client support"
+ depends on INET
+ select LOCKD
+ select SUNRPC
+ select NFS_ACL_SUPPORT if NFS_V3_ACL
+ help
+ Choose Y here if you want to access files residing on other
+ computers using Sun's Network File System protocol. To compile
+ this file system support as a module, choose M here: the module
+ will be called nfs.
+
+ To mount file systems exported by NFS servers, you also need to
+ install the user space mount.nfs command which can be found in
+ the Linux nfs-utils package, available from http://linux-nfs.org/.
+ Information about using the mount command is available in the
+ mount(8) man page. More detail about the Linux NFS client
+ implementation is available via the nfs(5) man page.
+
+ Below you can choose which versions of the NFS protocol are
+ available in the kernel to mount NFS servers. Support for NFS
+ version 2 (RFC 1094) is always available when NFS_FS is selected.
+
+ To configure a system which mounts its root file system via NFS
+ at boot time, say Y here, select "Kernel level IP
+ autoconfiguration" in the NETWORK menu, and select "Root file
+ system on NFS" below. You cannot compile this file system as a
+ module in this case.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+config NFS_V3
+ bool "NFS client support for NFS version 3"
+ depends on NFS_FS
+ help
+ This option enables support for version 3 of the NFS protocol
+ (RFC 1813) in the kernel's NFS client.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
+
+config NFS_V3_ACL
+ bool "NFS client support for the NFSv3 ACL protocol extension"
+ depends on NFS_V3
+ help
+ Some NFS servers support an auxiliary NFSv3 ACL protocol that
+ Sun added to Solaris but 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
+ ACLs on local files whether this protocol is available or not.
+
+ Choose Y here if your NFS server supports the Solaris NFSv3 ACL
+ protocol extension and you want your NFS client to allow
+ applications to access and modify ACLs on files on the server.
+
+ Most NFS servers don't support the Solaris NFSv3 ACL protocol
+ extension. You can choose N here or specify the "noacl" mount
+ option to prevent your NFS client from trying to use the NFSv3
+ ACL protocol.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+config NFS_V4
+ bool "NFS client support for NFS version 4 (EXPERIMENTAL)"
+ depends on NFS_FS && EXPERIMENTAL
+ select RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5
+ help
+ This option enables support for version 4 of the NFS protocol
+ (RFC 3530) in the kernel's NFS client.
+
+ To mount NFS servers using NFSv4, you also need to install user
+ space programs which can be found in the Linux nfs-utils package,
+ available from http://linux-nfs.org/.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+config ROOT_NFS
+ bool "Root file system on NFS"
+ depends on NFS_FS=y && IP_PNP
+ help
+ If you want your system to mount its root file system via NFS,
+ choose Y here. This is common practice for managing systems
+ without local permanent storage. For details, read
+ <file:Documentation/filesystems/nfsroot.txt>.
+
+ Most people say N here.
