.I Nfsd
starts the 
.IR NFS (4)
server daemons that handle client filesystem requests.
.I 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.
.LP
.I Biod
starts
.I 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
.I nservers
in here is also four.
