NAME
nfsd, biod - NFS daemons
SYNOPSIS
/etc/nfsd [nservers]
/etc/biod [nservers]
DESCRIPTION
_N_f_s_d starts the _N_F_S(4) server daemons that handle client
filesystem requests. _N_s_e_r_v_e_r_s 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.
_B_i_o_d starts _n_s_e_r_v_e_r_s 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 _n_s_e_r_v_e_r_s
in here is also four.
