ChorusOS 5.0 Features and Architecture Overview

NFS_SERVER

The NFS_SERVER feature provides an NFS server on top of a local file system, most commonly UFS, but possibly MSDOSFS. It provides only the server side implementation of the protocol, the client side being provided by the NFS_CLIENT feature. The NFS_SERVER requires the POSIX_SOCKETS and UFS features.

The NFS protocol is supported over IPv4 and IPv6; it supports both NFSv2 and NFSv3 over UDP and TCP.

The NFS_SERVER feature API is summarized in the following table. For general information on the API provided by this feature, see the POSIX standard (IEEE Std 1003.1b-1993). Some of the calls listed are also included in other features.
