ok, understood.
Another thing I've noticed at a couple of forums - people tend to "piggy-back" multiple [somewhat and sometime unrelated] questions on the same original thread. When this happens the thread "splits" and it's becoming harder [even for one person following/answering the thread] to follow issue(s) and for the others to find relative information searching.

I tried to note that to the posters when it does happen, but by then it's somewhat "late in the game".

It might be an idea to mention something in rules about that.

thanks for the kind words, btw.

async_daemon(2) 						System Calls Manual						   async_daemon(2)

NAME
async_daemon - Creates a local NFS asynchronous I/O server SYNOPSIS
async_daemon( unsigned long iod_num, unsigned long magic); PARAMETERS
Specifies the number of I/O threads to run. For Tru64 UNIX, this is 950410. If a different value is used, seven NFS I/O threads are run. DESCRIPTION
The use of the async_daemon() function is not supported in customer applications, and the interface is subject to change without notice. It is intended for use solely by nfsiod(8). The async_daemon() function starts iod_num NFS I/O kernel threads that are used to improve NFS I/O performance. This function does not return to the caller, but remains in the kernel to provide additional support for NFS over TCP. RETURN VALUES
The async_daemon function has no successful return. In fact, it frees the text and data segments associated with the calling program so there is nothing to return to. When interrupted by a KILL signal, the I/O threads are terminated and the process exits. If the async_dae- mon function encounters errors, , -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS
If the async_daemon() function fails, errno may be set to the following value: The async_daemon function has already been called by another process. The caller is not the superuser. More than 64 I/O threads were requested. The kernel memory allocator has no memory. RELATED INFORMATION
Functions: nfssvc(2) Commands: nfsiod(8) delim off async_daemon(2)
