NAME
     nfsd, biod - invoke the NFS daemons

SYNOPSIS
     nfsd [nserver]...

     biod [nserver]...

ARGUMENTS
     nserver
          Specifies the number of file-system request daemons to
          start.  This number should be based on the load
          expected on this server; 4 is a good number.  If the
          nserver argument is not specified, it defaults to 1.

DESCRIPTION
     nfsd starts the NFS server daemons that handle client file-
     system requests.

     biod starts the number asynchronous block I/O daemons
     specified by nserver.  This command is used on an NFS client
     to handle read-ahead and write-behind of buffer cached
     blocks.
