NFSIOD(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual NFSIOD(8)
NAME
nfsiod -- local NFS asynchronous I/O server
SYNOPSIS
nfsiod [-n num_servers]
DESCRIPTION
The nfsiod utility is a kernel process which 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.
This program controls the maximum number of processes that the kernel
runs. Unless otherwise specified, a single server is started.
The options are as follows:
-n Specify how many servers are to be started.
A client should run enough daemons to handle its maximum level of concur-
rency, typically four to six.
If nfsiod detects that the running kernel does not include NFS support,
it will attempt to load a loadable kernel module containing NFS code,
using kldload(2) by way of vfsload(3). If this fails, or no NFS KLD was
available, nfsiod exits with an error.
DIAGNOSTICS
The nfsiod utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
