   NAME
         biod - NFS daemon

   SYNOPSIS
         biod [ nservers ]

   DESCRIPTION
         biod starts nservers asynchronous block I/O daemons.  This command is
         used on an NFS client to buffer read-ahead and write-behind. Four is
         the usual number for nservers.

         The biod daemons are automatically invoked in run level 3.
