NFSD(NADM)                                 UNIX System V



     Name
          nfsd, biod - NFS daemons


     Syntax
          /etc/nfsd [nservers]

          /etc/biod [nservers]


     Description
          nfsd starts  the  NFS  server  daemons  that  handle  client
          filesystem  requests.   nservers is the number of filesystem
          request daemons to start.  This number should  be  based  on
          the load expected on this server.

          biod, run on an NFS  client,  starts  nservers  asynchronous
          block  I/O  daemons, which do read-ahead and write-behind of
          blocks from the client's buffer cache.
