NFSIOD(8) BSD 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 ma- chine 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, us- ing 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.
