nfsd, biod — NFS daemons
SYNOPSIS

/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 transports, 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.
