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 concurrency, typically four to six.

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