10 nfsiostat [[<interval>] [<count>]] [<options>][<mount_point>]
11
13 The nfsiostat command displays NFS client per-mount statisitics.
14
15 <interval>
16 specifies the amount of time in seconds between each report.
17 The first report contains statistics for the time since each
18 file system was mounted. Each subsequent report contains sta‐
19 tistics collected during the interval since the previous report.
20
21 <count>
22 If the <count> parameter is specified, the value of <count>
23 determines the number of reports generated at <interval> seconds
24 apart. if the interval parameter is specified without the
25 <count> parameter, the command generates reports continuously.
26
27 <options>
28 Define below
29
30 <mount_point>
31 If one or more <mount point> names are specified, statistics for
32 only these mount points will be displayed. Otherwise, all NFS
33 mount points on the client are listed.
34
35 The meaning of each column of nfsiostat's output is the following:
36 - op/s
37 This is the number of operations per second.
38 - rpc bklog
39 This is the length of the backlog queue.
40 - kB/s
41 This is the number of kB written/read per second.
42 - kB/op
43 This is the number of kB written/read per each opera‐
44 tion.
45 - retrans
46 This is the number of retransmissions.
47 - avg RTT (ms)
48 This is the duration from the time that client's kernel
49 sends the RPC request until the time it receives the
50 reply.
51 - avg exe (ms)
52 This is the duration from the time that NFS client does
53 the RPC request to its kernel until the RPC request is
54 completed, this includes the RTT time above.
55
56 Note that if an interval is used as argument to nfsiostat, then the
57 diffrence from previous interval will be displayed, otherwise the
58 results will be from the time that the share was mounted.
