nfsd − NFS server daemon

Description

The nfsd daemon starts the specified number of NFS server daemons which handle file system requests from clients. The nservers argument tells nfsd how many file system server daemons to start.  This number should be based on the load expected on this server. The nfsd daemon is normally invoked at boot time via the /etc/rc.local file.
