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 */
