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  concur-
     rency, 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.

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

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.

FreeBSD 15.1			December 26, 2009		       NFSIOD(8)
