nfsd
— remote NFS
server

[-rtu ] [-n

nfsd
runs on a server machine to service
NFS requests from client machines. At least one nfsd
must be running for a machine to operate as a server.
Unless otherwise specified, four servers for UDP transport are started.
The options are as follows:
-n
num_servers-r
-u
or -t
options to
re-register NFS if the portmap server is restarted.-t
-u
For example, “nfsd -u -t -n
6
” serves UDP and TCP transports using six daemons.
A server should run enough daemons to handle the maximum level of concurrency from its clients, typically four to six.
nfsd
listens for service requests at the
port indicated in the NFS server specification; see RFCs 1094 and 1813.
The nfsd
utility exits 0 on
success, and >0 if an error occurs.
The nfsd
utility first appeared in
4.4BSD.
