NAME
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 daemons to handle its maximum level of concurrency, 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(8) by way of
vfsload(3). If this fails, or no NFS KLD was available, The
nfsiod utility exits with an error.
EXIT STATUS
The nfsiod utility exits 0 on
success, and >0 if an error occurs.
