| 43 | .Nm nfsiod | |
| 44 | .Op Fl n Ar num_servers | |
| 45 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
| 46 | .Nm Nfsiod | |
| 47 | runs on an | |
| 48 | .Tn NFS | |
| 49 | client machine to service asynchronous I/O requests to its server. | |
| 50 | It improves performance but is not required for correct operation. | |
| 51 | .Pp | |
| 52 | Unless otherwise specified, a single server is started. | |
| 53 | .Pp | |
| 54 | The options are as follows: | |
| 55 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | |
| 56 | .It Fl n | |
| 57 | Specify how many servers are to be started. | |
| 58 | .El | |
| 59 | .Pp | |
| ac2f15b3 A |
60 | A client should run enough servers to handle its maximum |
| 61 | level of concurrency, typically four to six. Each server | |
| 62 | runs as a separate thread within the nfsiod process. | |
