biod(8nfs)biod(8nfs)Namebiod - Start NFS asynchronous block I/O daemons
Syntax
/etc/biod [ndaemons]
Description
The daemon starts the specified number of asynchronous block I/O dae‐
mons. The ndaemons argument tells how many asynchronous block I/O dae‐
mons to start. The daemon is only useful to NFS clients. This command
is used by NFS clients to perform read-ahead and write-behind of remote
file system blocks. Like the daemon, is normally invoked at boot time
via the file.
Examples
/etc/biod 2 /* start two biod daemons */
