nfsd(1M)                                                 nfsd(1M)



     NAME
          nfsd, biod - NFS daemons

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/nfsd [nserver...]

          /etc/biod [nserver...]

     DESCRIPTION
          nfsd starts the NFS server daemons that handle client file
          system requests.  nservers is the number of file system re-
          quest daemons to start.  This number should be based on the
          load expected on this server; four is a good number.  If
          nservers is not specified it defaults to one.

          biod starts nservers asynchronous block I/O daemons.  This
          command is used on a NFS client to handle read-ahead and
          write-behind of buffer cached blocks.  A good value for
          nservers is four; if not specified it defaults to one.
