biod(1Mnfs)
biod --
NFS daemon
Synopsis
/usr/lib/nfs/biod
Description
The biod command starts the asynchronous block I/O
daemons. This command is used on an NFS® client to buffer read-ahead
and write-behind.
Usage
The biod daemons are automatically invoked in run level 3.
biod uses kernel lightweight processes (LWPs) to do
the asynchronous NFS I/O. The kernel LWPs are created
or deleted dynamically, depending on the asynchronous I/O load.
The maximum number of LWPs is controlled by the kernel tunable
NFS_ASYNC_MAX.
Only a privileged user can start the biod daemons.
