It may seem a little odd placing this in the "systemd" directory,
but it is a conveninent place, and /etc/nfs.conf was added in
part to help with systemd integration.

+.TH NFS.CONF 5
+.SH NAME
+nfs.conf \- general configuration for NFS daemons and tools
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.I /etc/nfs.conf
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This file contains site-specific configuration for various NFS daemons
+and other processes.  Most configuration can also be passed to
+processes via command line arguments, but it can be more convenient to
+have a central file.  In particular, this encourages consistent
+configuration across different processes.
+.PP
+When command line options are provided, they override values set in
+this file.  When this file does not specify a particular parameter,
+and no command line option is provided, each tool provides its own
+default values.
+.PP
+The file format supports multiple sections, each of which can contain
+multiple value assignments.  A section is introduced by a line
+containing the section name enclosed in square brackets, so
+.RS
+.B [global]
+.RE
+would introduce a section called
+.BR global .
+A value assignment is a single line that has the name of the value, an
+equals sign, and a setting for the value, so
+.RS
+.B threads = 4
+.RE
+would set the value named
+.B threads
+in the current section to
+.BR 4 .
+Leading and trailing spaces and tab
+are ignored, as are spaces and tabs surrounding the equals sign.
+.PP
+Any line starting with
+.RB \*(lq # \*(rq
+or
+.RB \*(lq ; \*(rq
+is ignored, as is any blank line.
+.PP
+Lookup of section and value names is case-insensitive.
+
+.SH SECTIONS
+The following sections are known to various programs, and can contain
+the given named values.
+.TP
+.B nfsdcltrack
+Recognized values:
+.BR storagedir .
+
+The
+.B nfsdcltrack
+program is run directly by the Linux kernel and there is no
+opportunity to provide command line arguments, so the configuration
+file is the only way to configure this program.  See
+.BR nfsdcltrack (8)
+for details.
+
+.SH FILES
+.I /etc/nfs.conf
+.SH SEE ALSO
+.BR nfsdcltrack (8),
+.BR nfsmount.conf (5).
