nfsd

This daemon handles other client file-system requests. You can use several options with this command. See the nfsd(1M) man page for a complete listing.

The -l option sets the connection queue length for the NFS/TCP over connection-oriented transports. The default value is 32 entries.

The -c #_conn option selects the maximum number of connections per connection-oriented transport. The default value for #_conn is unlimited.

The nservers option is the maximum number of concurrent requests that a server can handle. The default value for nservers is 1, but the startup scripts select 16.

Unlike older versions of this daemon, nfsd does not spawn multiple copies to handle concurrent requests. Checking the process table with ps only shows one copy of the daemon running.
