nfsd(1M)                                                 nfsd(1M)



     NAME
          nfsd, biod - NFS daemons

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/nfsd [nservers]
          /etc/biod [nservers]

     DESCRIPTION
          nfsd starts the NFS 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 is a good number.  If
          nservers is not specified it defaults to one.

          biod starts nservers asynchronous block I/O daemons.  This
          command is used on a NFS client to handle read-ahead and
          write-behind of buffer cached blocks.  A good value for
          nservers is four; if not specified it defaults to one.
