NAME
       nfsd - Network File System server

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/etc/nfsd [ nservers ]

DESCRIPTION
       nfsd starts the server programs (daemons) that handle client
       filesystem requests.  nservers is the number of file system request
       servers to start.  This number should be based on the load expected
       on this server.  Eight is a good number for most server traffic,
       twelve for increasing server traffic.

       When a file that is opened by a client is unlinked (by the server), a
       file with a name of the form .nfsXXX (where XXX is a number) is
       created by the client.  When the open file is closed, the .nfsXXX
       file is removed.  If the client crashes before the file can be
       closed, the .nfsXXX file is not removed.

FILES
       .nfsXXX             client machine pointer to an open-but-unlinked
                           file
