NFSIOD(8) OpenBSD System Manager's Manual NFSIOD(8) NAME nfsiod - local NFS asynchronous I/O server SYNOPSIS nfsiod [-n num_servers] DESCRIPTION nfsiod runs on an NFS client machine to service asynchronous I/O requests to its server. It improves performance but is not required for correct operation. Unless otherwise specified, a single server is started. The options are as follows: -n num_servers Specify how many servers are to be started (max 20). A client should run enough daemons to handle its maximum level of concur- rency, typically four to six.
