I'm trying to debug some NFS issues with amd and I'm trying to
figure out if nfsiod is helping me or hurting me. The man page says,
Nfsiod runs on an NFS client machine to service asynchronous I/O
requests to its server. It improves performance but is not
required for correct operation.
My confusion is about the meaning of "its server" in that sentence. If my
machine is an NFS client only (i.e., it's using amd to automount
directories on remote machines via NFS) does nfsiod come into play at all?
And if not, when would it come into play, and which server is the man page
referring to there?
Thanks,
Doug
