# New configuration file

nfs-common and nfs-kernel-server use a common configuration file /etc/nfs.conf.
They also support a /etc/nfs.conf.d/*.conf structure.

If there are local modifications to either /etc/default/nfs-common or
/etc/default/nfs-kernel-server as installed by previous versions of the
corresponding Debian packages, nfs-common will attempt a migration to the new
configuration file. This migration is done by calling the
/usr/share/nfs-common/nfsconvert.py script in postinst.

Upon success, the script will produce /etc/nfs.conf.d/local.conf with the local
customizations specified in those older config files, while /etc/nfs.conf will
remain with the default settings.

If the migration fails for some reason, the package installation will fail and
manual intervention will be required. This will probably involve temporarily
removing the offending configuration option that was not handled by the
migration script and configuring the package again. Please consult nfs.conf(5)
and each daemon's manpage to determine how to translate the command line
options previously defined in /etc/default/nfs-* to the new configuration file
format.

# Services

All NFS related services are enabled by default. This means that depending on
the NFS version that you intend to use, some services might be superfluous.
For example, if you never intend to serve NFSv3, then you can safely disable
the rpc-statd.service unit. Note that some NFSv4 service units will start only
if Kerberos is setup.
