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 controls the maximum number of nfsiod kernel processes
which run on an NFS client machine to service asynchronous I/O requests
to its server. Having nfsiod kernel processes improves performance but
is not required for correct operation.
The option is as follows:
-n Specify how many processes are permitted to be started.
Without an option, nfsiod displays the current settings. A client should
allow enough number of processes 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 kernel module containing NFS code, using
kldload(2). If this fails, or no NFS module was available, nfsiod exits
with an error.
EXIT STATUS
The nfsiod utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

HISTORY
The nfsiod utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
Starting with FreeBSD 5.0, the utility no longer starts daemons, but only
serves as a vfs loader and sysctl(3) wrapper.
