NFS Administration Guide

statd

This daemon works with lockd to provide crash and recovery functions for the lock manager. It keeps track of the clients that hold locks on an NFS server. If a server crashes, upon rebooting statd on the server contacts statd on the client. The client statd can then attempt to reclaim any locks on the server. The client statd also informs the server statd when a client has crashed, so that the client's locks on the server can be cleared. There are no options to select with this daemon. For more information see the statd(1M) man page.
