NAME

nfsclnt − create NFS client handles

SYNOPSIS

nfsclnt [ nclienthandles ]

DESCRIPTION

The nfsclnt command allocates connectionless transport endpoints which are used to create client handles.  NFS client programs obtain a client handle for the duration of an RPC operation. 

The nclienthandles command is the number of client handles allocated.  This number limits the number of NFS client operations that can be run concurrently, and should be based on the load expected on the client.  If additional client handles are required, more nfsclnt processes may be started.  The number of client handles available to NFS client programs is the sum of the number of client handles allocated by each nfsclnt program.  Killing an nfsclnt process will reduce the available number of client handles by the amount that was initially allocated by that process.
