NAME

     nfsd -- remote NFS server

SYNOPSIS

     nfsd [-6rut] [-n num_threads]

DESCRIPTION

     nfsd runs on a server machine to service NFS requests from client machines.  At least one nfsd must be running for a machine to operate as a
     server.

     Unless otherwise specified, four servers for UDP transport are started.

     The following options are available:

     -r      Register the NFS service with rpcbind(8) without creating any servers.  This option can be used along with the -u or -t options to
	     re-register NFS if the portmap server is restarted.

     -n      Specifies how many server threads to create.  The default is 4.  A server should run enough threads to handle the maximum level of
	     concurrency from its clients.

     -6      Listen to IPv6 requests as well as IPv4 requests. If IPv6 support is not available, nfsd will silently continue and just use IPv4.

     -t      Serve TCP NFS clients.

     -u      Serve UDP NFS clients.

     For example, ``nfsd -t -u -n 6'' serves UDP and TCP transports using six threads.

     nfsd listens for service requests at the port indicated in the NFS server specification; see Network File System Protocol Specification, RFC
     1094 and NFS: Network File System Version 3 Protocol Specification.

     The nfsd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

MOUNTD(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						 MOUNTD(8)

NAME

     mountd -- service remote NFS mount requests

SYNOPSIS

     Obsolete.	See nfsd(8).

DESCRIPTION

     The mountd daemon was formerly the server for NFS mount requests from NFS clients.  This functionality has been moved into the NFS server
     daemon nfsd(8).

     Please refer to nfsd(8) for NFS server documenation.

     The following is a list of former mountd options that are now available as nfsd(8) options:

	   mountd option    nfsd option        Description
	   -n		    -N		       allow non-root mounts
	   -r		    -R		       allow regular file mounts
	   exportsfile	    -F exportsfile     alternate exports file

     However, such configuration options are normally specified via nfs.conf(5).

     When the NFS server is started, it loads the export host addresses and options into the kernel using the nfssvc(2) system call.  After chang-
     ing the list of exports (either directly or indirectly via a change in netgroup membership), the administrator should send a hangup signal to
     the nfsd daemon to get it to reload the export information:

	   kill -s HUP `cat /var/run/nfsd.pid`

     For backwards compatibility, the following should also work:

	   kill -s HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid`

     Any errors encountered while processing the export entries will be logged via syslog(3).

FILES

     /etc/exports	  the list of exported filesystems
     /var/run/mountd.pid  the pid of the currently running mountd
     /var/run/mountdtab   the current list of outstanding mounts served
     /var/run/mountdexptab
			  information about exported file systems and directories (UUIDs, handles, ...)

SEE ALSO

     nfsd(8), exports(5), nfs.conf(5), nfsstat(1), portmap(8), showmount(8)

HISTORY

     The mountd utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.  It's functionality was merged into nfsd(8) in Darwin 9.
