nfsd is a target utility.
The nfsd daemon 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 following options are available:
Register the NFS service without creating any servers. This option can be used along with the -u or -t options to re-register NFS if the portmap server is restarted.
Specifies how many servers to create.
Serve TCP NFS clients.
Serve UDP NFS clients.
For example: nfsd -ut -n 6 & serves UDP and TCP transports using six daemons.
A server should run enough daemons to handle the maximum level of concurrent requests from its clients, typically four to six.
The nfsd daemon listens for service requests at the port indicated in the NFS server specification; see "Network File System Protocol Specification" , RFC1094.
The nfsd daemon exits 0 if successful, and >0 if an error occurs.
