Allocating additional server lockd daemons
By default, lockd allocates two kernel-based server
processes, one for TCP and one for UDP, that handle
lock requests from clients. You may allocate any number of lockd
daemons for either transport protocol by using the -t and
-u flags when you invoke lockd on the server host:
/etc/lockd -t 3 -u 3
This will allocate three lockd daemons for lock requests
transmitted via TCP and three daemons for those transmitted via
UDP.
/etc/lockd 3
This will allocate three lockd daemons for handling UDP lock requests. This is desirable when you wish to process more lock requests or allow the lock requests to be processed faster.
