Setting | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Number of servers | integer | Specify how many servers to create. Increase if NFS client responses are slow. Keep this less than or equal to the number of CPUs reported by sysctl -n kern.smp.cpus to limit CPU context switching. |
Bind IP Addresses | drop down | Select IP addresses to listen to for NFS requests. Leave empty for NFS to listen to all available addresses. |
Enable NFSv4 | checkbox | Set to switch from NFSv3 to NFSv4. |
NFSv3 ownership model for NFSv4 | checkbox | Set when NFSv4 ACL support is needed without requiring the client and the server to sync users and groups. |
Require Kerberos for NFSv4 | checkbox | Set to force NFS shares to fail if the Kerberos ticket is unavailable. |
Serve UDP NFS clients | checkbox | Set if NFS clients need to use the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). |
Allow non-root mount | checkbox | Set only if required by the NFS client. Set to allow serving non-root mount requests. |
Support >16 groups | checkbox | Set when a user is a member of more than 16 groups. This assumes group membership is configured correctly on the NFS server. |
Log mountd(8) requests | checkbox | Set to log mountd syslog requests. |
Log rpc.statd(8) and rpc.lockd(8) | checkbox | Set to log rpc.statd and rpc.lockd syslog requests. |
mountd(8) bind port | integer | Enter a number to bind mountd only to that port. |
rpc.statd(8) bind port integer | Enter a number to bind rpc.statd only to that port. | |
rpc.lockd(8) bind port | integer | Enter a number to bind rpc.lockd only to that port. |
Unless a specific setting is needed, it is recommended to use the default settings for the NFS service.
