NFSIOD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual NFSIOD(8) NNAAMMEE nnffssiioodd - local NFS asynchronous I/O server SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS nnffssiioodd [_n_u_m_d_a_e_m_o_n_s] DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN NNffssiioodd runs on an NFS client machine to service asynchronous I/O requests to its server. It improves performance but is not required for correct operation. Available options: _n_u_m_d_a_e_m_o_n_s The option _n_u_m_d_a_e_m_o_n_s defines how many nnffssiioodd daemons to start; if unspecified, only a single daemon will be started. A client should typically run enough daemons to handle their maximum level of concurrency, typically four to six.
