rpc.nfsd (8)
NFS server process
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd [-p port ] nproc
DESCRIPTION
The
rpc.nfsd
program implements the user level part of the NFS service. The
main functionality is handled by the
nfsd.o
kernel module; the user space program merely starts the specified
number of kernel threads.
The
rpc.mountd
server provides an ancially service needed to satisfy mount requests
by NFS clients.
OPTIONS
-p port
specify a diferent port to listen on for NFS requests. By default,
rpc.nfsd
will listen on port 2049.
nproc
specify the number of NFS server threads. By default, just one
thread is started. However, for optimum performance several threads
should be used. The actual figure depends on the number of and the work
load created by the NFS clients, but a useful starting point is
8 threads. Effects of modifying that number can be checked using
the
nfsstat (8)
program.
