NAME

nfsd, biod − NFS daemons

SYNOPSIS

/etc/nfsd [nservers]

/etc/biod [nservers]

DESCRIPTION

Nfsd starts the NFS server daemons that handle client filesystem requests.  Nservers is the number of file system request daemons to start.  This number should be based on the load expected on this server.  Four seems to be a good number. 

Biod starts nservers asynchronous block I/O daemons.  This command is used on a NFS client to buffer cache handle read-ahead and write-behind.  The magic number for nservers in here is also four.
