UNFS3 is a user-space implementation of the NFSv3 server specification. It provides a daemon for the MOUNT and NFS protocols, which are used by NFS clients for accessing files on the server.

UNFS3 supports all NFSv3 procedures with the exception of the READDIRPLUS procedure. It tries to provide as much information to NFS clients as possible, within the limits possible from user-space.

UNFS3 is not possible to export to netgroups or wildcard hostnames via /etc/exports, all other addressing methods should work. The following options are recognized in the exports file: ro, rw, root_squash, all_squash, no_root_squash, no_all_squash.

If other options are present, they are ignored.

Cluster extensions compatible to the older ClusterNFS project are supported when the source is configured with --enable-cluster.
