NFSIOD(8)              DragonFly System Manager's Manual             NFSIOD(8)

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 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(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.

SEE ALSO
     nfsstat(1), nfssvc(2), kldload(8), mountd(8), nfsd(8), rpcbind(8)

HISTORY
     The nfsiod utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
