NAME
nfsd, biod - NFS daemons
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/nfsd [ -a ][-p protocol ][-t device ][nservers]
/usr/sbin/biod [nservers]
DESCRIPTION
nfsd starts the NFS server daemons that handle client file system requests (see nfs(7)). nservers is the
suggested number of file system request daemons that will start. The minimum number of daemons will be
equal to the number of active processors plus one, or to a multiple of the number of active processors
greater than or equal to nservers plus one. To obtain the best performance in most cases, set nservers to at
least sixteen.
biod starts nservers asynchronous block I/O daemons. This command is used on an NFS client to buffer
cache handle read-ahead and write-behind. nservers is a number greater than zero. For best performance,
set nservers to at least sixteen.
Options
nfsd recognizes the following options:
-a Start a NFS daemon over all supported connectionless and connection-oriented tran-
sports, including udp and tcp. The NFS_TCP environment variable in
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
configuration file, must have been set to 1 (one) in
order to support connect-oriented (tcp) transport.
-p protocol
Start a NFS daemon over the specified protocol.
-t device Start a NFS daemon for the transport specified by the given device.
nservers nservers is the suggested number of file system request daemons that will start. The
actual number of daemons started will be one tcp daemon (to support kernel tcp threads)
plus the number of udp daemons. The minimum number of udp daemons will be equal to
a multiple of the active processors, or to nservers, whichever is greater. To obtain the
best performance in most cases, set nservers to at least sixteen.
