Name
biod - Start NFS asynchronous block I/O daemons
Syntax
/etc/biod [ndaemons]
Description
The daemon starts the specified number of asynchronous block I/O daemons. The ndaemons argument tells how many asynchronous block I/O dae-
mons to start. The daemon is only useful to NFS clients. This command is used by NFS clients to perform read-ahead and write-behind of
remote file system blocks. Like the daemon, is normally invoked at boot time via the file.
Examples
/etc/biod 2 /* start two biod daemons */
