nfs.nfs4_disable_idmapping=
- [NFSv4] When set, this option disables the NFSv4
- idmapper on the client, but only if the mount
- is using the 'sec=sys' security flavour. This may
- make migration from legacy NFSv2/v3 systems easier
- provided that the server has the appropriate support.
- The default is to always enable NFSv4 idmapping.
+ [NFSv4] When set to the default of '1', this option
+ ensures that both the RPC level authentication
+ scheme and the NFS level operations agree to use
+ numeric uids/gids if the mount is using the
+ 'sec=sys' security flavour. In effect it is
+ disabling idmapping, which can make migration from
+ legacy NFSv2/v3 systems to NFSv4 easier.
+ Servers that do not support this mode of operation
+ will be autodetected by the client, and it will fall
+ back to using the idmapper.
+ To turn off this behaviour, set the value to '0'.
