NFSSTAT(1) BSD General Commands Manual NFSSTAT(1)NAME
nfsstat -- display NFS statistics
SYNOPSIS
nfsstat [-cemoszW] [-M core] [-N system] [-w wait]
DESCRIPTION
The nfsstat command displays statistics kept about NFS client and server activity. For the NFSv4 server, the statistics are for operations
within the Compound RPCs and not the count of RPCs. If you wish to compare RPC counts between NFSv3 and NFSv4, you must use statistics in
the client(s).
The options are as follows:
-c Only display client side statistics.
-e Report the extra statistics collected by the new NFS client and server for NFSv4. This option is incompatible with -o.
-M Extract values associated with the name list from the specified core instead of the default /dev/kmem.
-m Report the mount options for all new NFS client mounts. This option overrides all others and nfsstat will exit after completing the
report. This option is only supported by the new NFS client.
-N Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the default /boot/kernel/kernel.
-o Report statistics for the old NFS client and/or server. Without this option statistics for the new NFS client and/or server will be
reported.
-s Only display server side statistics.
-W Use wide format with interval short summary. This option is especially useful when combined with -c or -s and a time delay.
-w Display a shorter summary of NFS activity for both the client and server at wait second intervals.
-z Reset statistics after displaying them.
FILES
/boot/kernel/kernel default kernel namelist
/dev/kmem default memory file

nfsstat - list NFS statistics
SYNOPSIS
nfsstat [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
The nfsstat displays statistics kept about NFS client and server activity.
OPTIONS -s, --server
Print only server-side statistics. The default is to print both server and client statistics.
-c, --client
Print only client-side statistics.
-n, --nfs
Print only NFS statistics. The default is to print both NFS and RPC information.
-2 Print only NFS v2 statistics. The default is to only print information about the versions of NFS that have non-zero counts.
-3 Print only NFS v3 statistics. The default is to only print information about the versions of NFS that have non-zero counts.
-4 Print only NFS v4 statistics. The default is to only print information about the versions of NFS that have non-zero counts.
-m, --mounts
Print information about each of the mounted NFS file systems.
If this option is used, all other options are ignored.
-r, --rpc
Print only RPC statistics.
-o facility
Display statistics for the specified facility, which must be one of:
nfs NFS protocol information, split up by RPC call.
rpc General RPC information.
net Network layer statistics, such as the number of received packets, number of TCP connections, etc.
fh Usage information on the server's file handle cache, including the total number of lookups, and the number of hits and
misses.
rc Usage information on the server's request reply cache, including the total number of lookups, and the number of hits and
misses.
all Display all of the above facilities.
-v, --verbose
This is equivalent to -o all.
-l, --list
Print information in list form.
-S, --since file
Instead of printing current statistics, nfsstat imports statistics from file and displays the difference between those and the cur-
rent statistics. Valid input files may be in the form of /proc/net/rpc/nfs (raw client stats), /proc/net/rpc/nfsd (raw server
stats), or saved output from nfsstat itself (client and/or server stats). Any statistics missing from a saved nfsstat output file
are treated as zeroes.
-Z[interval], --sleep=[interval]
Instead of printing current statistics and immediately exiting, nfsstat takes a snapshot of the current statistics and pauses until
it receives SIGINT (typically from Ctrl-C), at which point it takes another snapshot and displays the difference between the two.
If interval is specified, nfsstat will print the number of NFS calls made since the previous report. Stats will be printed repeat-
edly every interval seconds.
EXAMPLES
nfsstat -o all -234
Show all information about all versions of NFS.
nfsstat --verbose -234
Same as above.
nfsstat -o all
Show all information about active versions of NFS.
nfsstat --nfs --server -3
Show statistics for NFS version 3 server.
nfsstat -m
Show information about mounted NFS filesystems.
DISPLAY
The Flags output from the -m option is the same as the flags give to the mount command.
FILES
/proc/net/rpc/nfsd
procfs-based interface to kernel NFS server statistics.
/proc/net/rpc/nfs
procfs-based interface to kernel NFS client statistics.
/proc/mounts
procfs-based interface to the mounted filesystems.
SEE ALSO rpc.nfsd(8). nfs(5).
BUGS
The default output has been changed. To get the old default output you must run nfsstat --auto -2.
The function of the -v and -a options have changed. The -a option is now reserved for future use. The -v does what the -a option used to
do, and the new -[234] options replace the -v option.
The Display section should be more complete.
