1config NFS_FS
2	tristate "NFS client support"
3	depends on INET && FILE_LOCKING
4	select LOCKD
5	select SUNRPC
6	select NFS_ACL_SUPPORT if NFS_V3_ACL
7	help
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.
31
32config NFS_V3
33	bool "NFS client support for NFS version 3"
34	depends on NFS_FS
35	help
36	  This option enables support for version 3 of the NFS protocol
37	  (RFC 1813) in the kernel's NFS client.
38
39	  If unsure, say Y.
40
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.
62
63config NFS_V4
64	bool "NFS client support for NFS version 4"
65	depends on NFS_FS
66	select SUNRPC_GSS
67	help
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/.
74
75	  If unsure, say Y.
76
77config NFS_V4_1
78	bool "NFS client support for NFSv4.1 (EXPERIMENTAL)"
79	depends on NFS_FS && NFS_V4 && EXPERIMENTAL
80	select PNFS_FILE_LAYOUT
81	help
82	  This option enables support for minor version 1 of the NFSv4 protocol
83	  (RFC 5661) in the kernel's NFS client.
84
85	  If unsure, say N.
86
87config PNFS_FILE_LAYOUT
88	tristate
89
90config PNFS_OBJLAYOUT
91	tristate "Provide support for the pNFS Objects Layout Driver for NFSv4.1 pNFS (EXPERIMENTAL)"
92	depends on NFS_FS && NFS_V4_1 && SCSI_OSD_ULD
93	help
94	  Say M here if you want your pNFS client to support the Objects Layout Driver.
95	  Requires the SCSI osd initiator library (SCSI_OSD_INITIATOR) and
96	  upper level driver (SCSI_OSD_ULD).
97
98	  If unsure, say N.
99
100config ROOT_NFS
101	bool "Root file system on NFS"
102	depends on NFS_FS=y && IP_PNP
103	help
104	  If you want your system to mount its root file system via NFS,
105	  choose Y here.  This is common practice for managing systems
106	  without local permanent storage.  For details, read
107	  <file:Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt>.
108
109	  Most people say N here.
110
111config NFS_FSCACHE
112	bool "Provide NFS client caching support"
113	depends on NFS_FS=m && FSCACHE || NFS_FS=y && FSCACHE=y
114	help
115	  Say Y here if you want NFS data to be cached locally on disc through
116	  the general filesystem cache manager
117
118config NFS_USE_LEGACY_DNS
119	bool "Use the legacy NFS DNS resolver"
120	depends on NFS_V4
121	help
122	  The kernel now provides a method for translating a host name into an
123	  IP address.  Select Y here if you would rather use your own DNS
124	  resolver script.
125
126	  If unsure, say N
127
128config NFS_USE_KERNEL_DNS
129	bool
130	depends on NFS_V4 && !NFS_USE_LEGACY_DNS
131	select DNS_RESOLVER
132	select KEYS
133	default y
134
135config NFS_USE_NEW_IDMAPPER
136	bool "Use the new idmapper upcall routine"
137	depends on NFS_V4 && KEYS
138	help
139	  Say Y here if you want NFS to use the new idmapper upcall functions.
140	  You will need /sbin/request-key (usually provided by the keyutils
141	  package).  For details, read
142	  <file:Documentation/filesystems/nfs/idmapper.txt>.
143
144	  If you are unsure, say N.
