NAME
       nfsd, biod - NFS daemons

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/etc/nfsd [nservers]

       /usr/etc/biod [nservers]

DESCRIPTION
       nfsd  starts  the  daemons  that	 handle	 client	 filesystem  requests.
       nservers is the number of file system request daemons to	 start.	  This
       number should be based on the load expected on this server.  Four seems
       to be a good number.

       biod starts nservers asynchronous block I/O daemons.  This  command  is
       used  on	 a  NFS	 client	 to  buffer cache handle read-ahead and write-
       behind.	The magic number for nservers in here is also four.

       When a file that is opened by a client is unlinked (by the  server),  a
       file with a name of the form .nfsXXX (where XXX is a number) is created
       by the client.  When the open file  is  closed,	the  .nfsXXX  file  is
       removed.	  If  the  client  crashes  before the file can be closed, the
       .nfsXXX file is not removed.

FILES
       .nfsXXX		   client machine pointer to an open-but-unlinked file
