General configuration file for NFS daemons and tools - /etc/nfs.conf

This file contains site-specific configuration for various NFS daemons and other processes. In particular, this encourages consistent configuration across different processes.

NFSConf - file /etc/nfs.conf

class insights.parsers.nfs_conf.NFSConf(context)[source]

Bases: IniConfigFile

Class parses the /etc/nfs.conf file using the IniConfigFile base parser.

Note

In some RHEL version, both the file /etc/nfs.conf and file /etc/sysconfig/nfs exist, and take effect at the same time for NFS services on the host. And it’s possible that there are overlaps between the two configuration files. A combiner for the two configuration files was considered. Since the two files’ coverage are different, and it is quite complicate to enumerate all the configuration options and combine them properly, and also, /etc/sysconfig/nfs is deprecated in lately RHEL releases. We deselect it as a consequence.

Sample configuration file:

[general]
# pipefs-directory=/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs

[exportfs]
debug=0

[gssd]
use-gss-proxy=1

[nfsd]
# debug=0
vers3=n
# vers4=y
# vers4.0=y
# vers4.1=y
# vers4.2=y
rdma=y
rdma-port=20049

Examples

>>> sorted(nfs_conf.sections())
['exportfs', 'general', 'gssd', 'nfsd']
>>> nfs_conf.get('gssd', 'use-gss-proxy')
'1'
>>> nfs_conf.getint('gssd', 'use-gss-proxy')
1
>>> nfs_conf.get('nfsd', 'vers3')
'n'
>>> nfs_conf.get('nfsd', 'rdma-port')
'20049'
