Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

asynchronous I/O server
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl n Ar num_servers
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility controls the maximum number of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
kernel processes which run on an
|
|
.Tn NFS
|
|
client machine to service asynchronous I/O requests to its server.
|
|
Having
|
|
.Nm
|
|
kernel processes
|
|
improves performance but is not required for correct operation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The option is as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Specify how many processes are permitted to be started.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Without an option,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
displays the current settings.
|
|
A client should allow enough number of processes to handle its maximum
|
|
level of concurrency, typically four to six.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
detects that the running kernel does not include
|
|
.Tn NFS
|
|
support, it will attempt to load a kernel module containing
|
|
.Tn NFS
|
|
code, using
|
|
.Xr kldload 2 .
|
|
If this fails, or no
|
|
.Tn NFS
|
|
module was available,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
exits with an error.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility first appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.4 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Starting with
|
|
.Fx 5.0 ,
|
|
the utility no longer starts daemons, but only serves as a vfs
|
|
loader and
|
|
.Xr sysctl 3
|
|
wrapper.
