In-Depth Information
Field
Description
server-ip
NFS server IP number (default uses ip=)
Root dir on NFS server. If there is a
%s
present, the IP address will be
inserted there.
root-dir
nfs-options
NFS options like ro, separated by commas
When unspecified, the default of
/tftpboot/client_ip_address
will be used. This
requires that
root=/dev/nfs
be specified and optionally
ip=
may be added.
To test whether you have NFS support in your kernel, you can query the
/proc
file
system when the system has booted:
$ cat /proc/filesystems
nodev sysfs
nodev rootfs
nodev bdev
nodev proc
nodev cgroup
nodev tmpfs
nodev devtmpfs
nodev debugfs
nodev sockfs
nodev pipefs
nodev anon_inodefs
nodev rpc_pipefs
nodev configfs
nodev devpts
ext3
ext2
ext4
nodev ramfs
vfat
msdos
nodev nfs
nodev nfs4
nodev autofs
nodev mqueue
From this example, we see that both the older NFS (
nfs
) and the newer NFS4 file
systems are supported.
