Linux Kernel NFS makefile help..!!!!
 

Hello,

Am new to Linux Kernel code and the way it compiles, actually i was trying compile NFS as a module.
The makefile is below but its compiling files only for nfs-y and not for others (i wanted NFSv4 files to be compiles).
******************************************************
#
# Makefile for the Linux nfs filesystem routines.
#

obj-$(CONFIG_NFS_FS) += nfs.o

nfs-y := client.o dir.o file.o getroot.o inode.o super.o nfs2xdr.o \
direct.o pagelist.o proc.o read.o symlink.o unlink.o \
write.o namespace.o mount_clnt.o \
dns_resolve.o cache_lib.o
nfs-$(CONFIG_ROOT_NFS) += nfsroot.o
nfs-$(CONFIG_NFS_V3) += nfs3proc.o nfs3xdr.o
nfs-$(CONFIG_NFS_V3_ACL) += nfs3acl.o
nfs-$(CONFIG_NFS_V4) += nfs4proc.o nfs4xdr.o nfs4state.o nfs4renewd.o \
delegation.o idmap.o \
callback.o callback_xdr.o callback_proc.o \
nfs4namespace.o
nfs-$(CONFIG_SYSCTL) += sysctl.o
nfs-$(CONFIG_NFS_FSCACHE) += fscache.o fscache-index.o

Actually i want to have mount and transfer file over NFSv4.

What GNU/Linux distribution are you using? This could probably be done without resorting to compiling kernel modules..?

Am usind Red Hat
Kernel Version :- 2.6.34.14

The following shows you how to setup NFS v4 without compiling kernel modules.

Should get you started:)

Actually i need to implement NFSv4 client for UEFI, so wanted to understand NFSv4 from Linux Kernel code...!!!

Okay, then I'm not sure;) Are you talking about netbooting (using PXE in Bios/Uefi and a NFS v4 share on the server hosting the images)?
