|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is a kernel process which runs on an
|
|
.Tn NFS
|
|
client machine to service asynchronous I/O requests to its server.
|
|
It improves performance but is not required for correct operation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This program controls the maximum number of processes that the kernel runs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Specify how many servers are permitted to be started.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A client should run enough daemons 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 loadable kernel module containing
|
|
.Tn NFS
|
|
code, using
|
|
.Xr kldload 2 .
|
|
If this fails, or no
|
|
.Tn NFS
|
|
KLD was available,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
exits with an error.
