nfsiostat(8) System Manager's Manual nfsiostat(8)
NAME
nfsiostat - Emulate iostat for NFS mount points using
/proc/self/mountstats
SYNOPSIS
nfsiostat [[<interval>] [<count>]] [<options>][<mount_point>]
DESCRIPTION
The nfsiostat command displays NFS client per-mount statisitics.
<interval>
specifies the amount of time in seconds between each report.
The first report contains statistics for the time since each
file system was mounted. Each subsequent report contains sta-
tistics collected during the interval since the previous report.
<count>
If the <count> parameter is specified, the value of <count> de-
termines the number of reports generated at <interval> seconds
apart. if the interval parameter is specified without the
<count> parameter, the command generates reports continuously.
<options>
Define below
<mount_point>
If one or more <mount point> names are specified, statistics for
only these mount points will be displayed. Otherwise, all NFS
mount points on the client are listed.
The meaning of each column of nfsiostat's output is the following:
- op/s
This is the number of operations per second.
- rpc bklog
This is the length of the backlog queue.
- kB/s
This is the number of kB written/read per second.
- kB/op
This is the number of kB written/read per each opera-
tion.
- retrans
This is the number of retransmissions.
- avg RTT (ms)
This is the duration from the time that client's kernel
sends the RPC request until the time it receives the re-
ply.
- avg exe (ms)
This is the duration from the time that NFS client does
the RPC request to its kernel until the RPC request is
completed, this includes the RTT time above.
Note that if an interval is used as argument to nfsiostat, then the
diffrence from previous interval will be displayed, otherwise the re-
sults will be from the time that the share was mounted.
