NFSv4 daemons
  • In NFSv4, mount, quota, locking, and NFS are all included in the same protocol and service.
  • The rpcbind is unnecessary to run. However, it may be helpful for troubleshoting and diagnostic purposes.

  • NFSv4 server daemons
    rpcbind (unnecessary)
    rpc.mountd handles the initial mount requests
    rpc.nfsd or [rpc.nfsd] handles data streaming
