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.

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.
