Nfsiod

nfsiod — local NFS asynchronous I/O server

SYNOPSIS

nfsiod [-n num_servers]

DESCRIPTION

Nfsiod 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.

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 servers to handle its maximum level of concur-
rency, typically four to six. Each server runs as a separate thread
within the nfsiod process.

The nfsiod utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
