1 UNFS3 (User-Space NFSv3 Server)
2 (C) 2003-2006, Pascal Schmidt <unfs3-server@ewetel.net>
8 UNFS3 is a user-space implementation of the NFSv3 server
11 UNFS3 supports all NFSv3 procedures with the exception of the
12 READDIRPLUS procedure. It tries to provide as much information
13 to NFS clients as possible, within the limits possible from
16 See the unfsd(8) manpage for restrictions imposed on NFS
17 operations (section RESTRICTIONS) and for possible races
18 with local file system activity (section BUGS).
20 It is not possible to export to netgroups or wildcard hostnames
21 via /etc/exports, all other addressing methods should work. The
22 following options are recognized in the exports file: ro, rw,
23 root_squash, all_squash, no_root_squash, no_all_squash. If
24 other options are present, they are ignored.
26 Cluster extensions compatible to the older ClusterNFS project
27 are supported when the source is configured with --enable-cluster.
33 Linux: compiles and runs, passes Connectathon 2003 NFS
34 testsuite's "basic" and "general" tests, survives
37 Solaris: compiles and runs, survives light testing
39 NetBSD: compiles and runs, but there are compatibility
40 problems with the in-kernel NFS client
44 Irix: compiles (with gcc and native compiler)
48 Note that only Linux support is checked for all releases. If unfs3
49 breaks on other platforms, a bug report is appreciated.
55 You will need gcc, lex (flex), and yacc (bison) to compile UNFS3.
61 Please read the manpage for information about command-line
66 If you decide to modify the code yourself, you can run
70 to append dependency information to the Makefile, so that make
71 knows which files depend on each other and recompiles all the
72 necessary files on changes.
78 The unfs3 CVS repository is accessible via anonymous CVS. The source
79 can be checked out with:
81 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.lysator.liu.se:/cvsroot/unfs3 login
82 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.lysator.liu.se:/cvsroot/unfs3 co unfs3
84 You can also use the web-based CVS repository viewer at:

88 In the HEAD branch, you will find a file called "BRANCHES", which
89 describes the different branches in this repository.
