The NFS server sits in user space. Oops? I don't know what Linux does, but with BSD, it has always been in-kernel.
Historically there was a user-space NFS-daemon (and can very probably be found via Google today). Actually there are stories about people using it because if you export filesystems via a user-space NFS daemon, you can change the mounting below without affecting the clients for NFS-v3.
But the kernel has a NFS-server since years and all (somewhat common) distributions use it per default.
Debian still gives you a choice with packages nfs-user-server and nfs-kernel-server.
Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for adding that.
