43 .Op Fl n Ar num_threads
46 runs on a server machine to service
48 requests from client machines.
51 must be running for a machine to operate as a server.
53 Unless otherwise specified, four servers for
55 transport are started.
57 The following options are available:
64 without creating any servers.
65 This option can be used along with the
69 options to re-register NFS if the portmap server is restarted.
71 Specifies how many server threads to create.
73 A server should run enough threads to handle
74 the maximum level of concurrency from its clients.
76 Listen to IPv6 requests as well as IPv4 requests. If IPv6 support is not
77 available, nfsd will silently continue and just use IPv4.
89 .Dq Li "nfsd -t -u -n 6"
94 transports using six threads.
97 listens for service requests at the port indicated in the
99 server specification; see
100 .%T "Network File System Protocol Specification" ,
102 .%T "NFS: Network File System Version 3 Protocol Specification" .
