nfsd(8) -- Linux man page
NAME
rpc.nfsd - NFS server process
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd [options] nproc
DESCRIPTION
The
rpc.nfsd
program implements the user level part of the NFS service. The
main functionality 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 or --port port
-
specify a diferent port to listen on for NFS requests. By default,
rpc.nfsd
will listen on port 2049.
- -N or --no-nfs-version vers
-
This option can be used to request that
rpc.nfsd
does not offer certain versions of NFS. The current version of
rpc.nfsd
can support both NFS version 2,3 and the newer version 4.
- -T or --no-tcp
-
Disable
rpc.nfsd
from accepting TCP connections from clients.
- -U or --no-udp
-
Disable
rpc.nfsd
from accepting UDP connections from clients.
- 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.
