NFS and (PC)NFS options

What the NFS and (PC)NFS options do

The NFS and (PC)NFS options enable and control NFS services.

For more information about NFS, see Chapter 7, "NFS Administration."

The nfs.mount_rootonly option

Default

On

Description

Configures the filer to give NFS access only to root by requiring that mount requests come from privileged ports (ports 0 through 1023).

The nfs.per_client
_stats.enable option

Default

Off

Description

Specifies whether the filer collects and displays NFS statistics from individual clients.

The nfs.tcp.enable option

Default

Off

Description

Specifies whether the filer supports NFS over TCP. Enable this option if a client has problems using NFS over UDP.

The nfs.v2.df.2gb.lim option

Default

Off

Description

Limits to 2 GB the response the filer gives to requests from NFS v2 clients regarding total space, free space, or available space. This option is necessary for some NFS clients to calculate the amount of free space accurately. Without this option, a file system with more than 2 GB of free disk space might appear to be full to the client that initiates the "file system statistics" request.

The nfs.v3.enable option

Default

On

Description

Specifies whether the filer supports NFS Version 3. Disable this option if a client has problems using NFS Version 3 and that client cannot be configured to use NFS Version 2.

The nfs.webnfs.enable option

Default

Off

Description

Turns WebNFS On and Off.

The nfs.webnfs.rootdir option

Default

None

Description

The specified directory becomes the root or public directory for WebNFS. When a request specifies a relative path, lookups for files are done with respect to this directory.

The nfs.webnfs
.rootdir.set option

Default

FALSE

Description

When set to TRUE, sets the directory specified in the nfs.webnfs.rootdir option to be the WebNFS root or public directory.

The pcnfsd.enable option

Default

Off

Description

Specifies whether the filer runs the (PC)NFS server.

The pcnfsd.umask option

Default

022

Description

Specifies that users can read and write their own files, but members of their group and others can only read the files. This option uses the standard UNIX permission mask.
