NAME
     nfsd, biod - NFS daemons

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/nfsd [nservers]

     /etc/biod [nservers]

DESCRIPTION
     nfsd starts the nfs(7P) 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.
