It is used by the NFS file locking service, +.BR rpc.lockd , +to implement lock recovery when the NFS server machine crashes and +reboots. +.SS Operation +For each NFS client or server machine to be monitored, +.B rpc.statd +creates a file in +.BR /var/lib/nfs/sm . +When starting, it iterates through these files and notifies the +peer +.B rpc.statd +on those machines. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B -F +By default, +.B rpc.statd +forks and puts itself in the background when started. The +.B -F +argument tells it to remain in the foreground. This option is +mainly for debugging purposes. +.SH FILES +.BR /var/lib/nfs/sm/state +.br +.BR /var/lib/nfs/sm/* +.br +.BR /var/lib/nfs/sm.bak/* +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR rpc.nfsd(8) +.SH AUTHORS +.br +Jeff Uphoff <juphoff@transmeta.com> +.br +Olaf Kirch <okir@monad.swb.de> +.br +H.J.
