nfsd(1M)

DESCRIPTION

nfsd starts the NFS server daemons that handle client file system requests (see nfs(7)). nservers is the suggested number of file system request daemons that will start. The minimum number of daemons will be equal to the number of active processors, or to nservers, whichever is greater. The actual number of daemons started will be a multiple of the number of active processors. To obtain the best performance in most cases, set nservers to at least four.

biod starts nservers asynchronous block I/O daemons. This command is used on an NFS client to buffer cache handle read-ahead and write-behind. nservers is a number greater than zero. For best performance, set nservers to at least four.
