There are only 8 default nfsd threads available in WD my cloud, this no. is not sufficient for my requirement. I want to increase default nfsd threads to 20 threads. For this I first connected with the wd my cloud through ssh. Found on internet that need's to edit RPCNFSDCOUNT parameter in /etc/sysconfig/nfs file, but sysconfig folder is not there. Linux version is 3.10.39 armv7l. How can I increase no. nfsd thread?
How to increase no. of nfsd threads in WD my cloud (nfs server)? for better performance

Per the Linux nfsd(8) man page:SYNOPSIS   /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd [options] nproc...   nproc  specify the number of NFS server threads. By default, eight          threads are started. However, for optimum performance several          threads should be used. The actual figure depends on the          number of and the work load created by the NFS clients, but a          useful starting point is eight threads. Effects of modifying          that number can be checked using the nfsstat(8) program....CONFIGURATION FILE   Many of the options that can be set on the command line can also be   controlled through values set in the [nfsd] section of the   /etc/nfs.conf configuration file.  Values recognized include:   threads          The number of threads to start.   ...I'd venture your best option is to modify /etc/nfs.conf, assuming that's how your Linux installation is configured.
