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 statistics
collected during the interval since the previous report.
<count>
If the <count> parameter is specified, the value of <count> determines 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 <mountpoint> 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.
- rpcbklog
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 operation.
- retrans
This is the number of retransmissions.
- avgRTT(ms)
This is the duration from the time that client's kernel sends the RPC request until the
time it receives the reply.
- avgexe(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.
- avgqueue(ms)
This is the duration from the time the NFS client created the RPC request task to the time
the request is transmitted.
- errors
This is the number of operations that completed with an error status (status < 0). This
count is only available on kernels with RPC iostats version 1.1 or above.
Note that if an interval is used as argument to nfsiostat, then the diffrence from previous interval will
be displayed, otherwise the results will be from the time that the share was mounted.
