NAME
       rpc.nfsd - NFS server process

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd [-p port] nproc

DESCRIPTION
       The rpc.nfsd program implements the user level part of the NFS service. The main function-
       ality is handled by the nfsd.o kernel module; the user space  program  merely  starts  the
       specified number of kernel threads.

       The  rpc.mountd  server  provides an ancillary service needed to satisfy mount requests by
       NFS clients.

OPTIONS
       -p port
              specify a diferent port to listen on for NFS requests. By  default,  rpc.nfsd  will
              listen on port 2049.

       nproc  specify  the  number of NFS server threads. By default, just one thread is started.
              However, for optimum performance several threads should be used. The actual  figure
              depends on the number of and the work load created by the NFS clients, but a useful
              starting point is 8 threads. Effects of modifying that number can be checked  using
              the nfsstat(8) program.
