Commercial NFS Packages(like SCO's) are forking more nfsd processes as they
need to handle more requests or fork 4 nfsd processes at startup.
Also they use biod processes for caching.
Is there an nfs implementation for Linux which can use more nfsd processes?
Are there Ports or a possiblity to run an others in the iBCS-Emulator?
Best Regards,
