NAME

nfsd, biod − NFS daemons

SYNOPSIS

/etc/nfsd [ nservers ] /etc/biod [ nservers ]

DESCRIPTION

Nfsd starts the nfs(4) 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 is a good number.  If nservers is not specified it defaults to one. 

Biod starts nservers asynchronous block I/O daemons.  This command is used on a NFS client to handle read-ahead and write-behind of buffer cached blocks.  A good value for nservers is four; if not specified it defaults to one. 

SEE ALSO

nfs(4), rpc(4), mountd(8c), exports(5)
