nfsiod
— local NFS

[-n num_threads] |
nfsiod
is deprecated. See
nfs.conf(5) for NFS configuration
info.
nfsiod
controls the maximum number of
asynchronous I/O threads used for NFS mounts. Historically, it has consisted
of a daemon that never exits. However, asynchronous I/O requests are now
serviced by threads launched on demand in the kernel and the
nfsiod
command simply sets the configuration
limit.
Having asynchronous I/O threads improves performance but is not required for correct operation.
The options are as follows:
-n
If no maximum is specified, nfsiod
displays the current value. The default value is 16. A client should allow
enough threads to handle its maximum level of concurrency.
The nfsiod
utility exits 0 on success, and
>0 if an error occurs.
The nfsiod
utility first appeared in
4.4BSD. It's use was deprecated in Darwin 9.
