NAME

nfsd, biod − NFS daemons

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/nfsd [nservers]

/usr/sbin/biod [nservers]

DESCRIPTION

nfsd starts the NFS server daemons that handle client file system requests (see nfs(7)). nservers is the number of file system request daemons that start.  This number should be determined by the load expected on the server system.  To obtain the best performance in most cases, set nservers to four. 

biod starts nservers asynchronous block I/O daemons.  This command is used on an NFS client to buffer cache handle read-ahead and write-behind.  nservers is a number greater than zero.  For best performance, set nservers to four.
