NFS Daemons
To support NFS activities, several daemons are started when a system goes into run level or multiuser mode. The mountd
and nfsd
daemons are run on systems that are servers. The automatic startup of the server daemons depends on the existence of at least one NFS share. To display the current list of NFS shares, run the share -F nfs
command. To support NFS file locking, the lockd
and statd
daemons are run on NFS clients and servers. However, unlike previous versions of NFS, in NFS Version 4, the daemons lockd
, statd
, and nfslogd
are not used.
This section describes the following daemons.
