| 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. |

| 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. |
