NFSSTAT(1M) Maintenance Commands NFSSTAT(1M)

NAME

nfsstat - NFS statistics

SYNOPSIS


nfsstat [-cnrsza] [-T u | d ] [-v version] [interval [count]]
 

nfsstat -m [pathname]...
 

DESCRIPTION

nfsstat displays statistical information about the NFS and RPC (Remote Procedure Call), interfaces to the kernel. It can also be used to reinitialize this information. If no options are given the default is as follows:
 
nfsstat -csnra
 
The default displays everything, but reinitializes nothing.

OPTIONS

-a
 
Display NFS_ACL information.
 
 
-c
 
Display client information. Only the client side NFS, RPC, and NFS_ACL information is printed. Can be combined with the -n, -r, and -a options to print client side NFS, RPC, and NFS_ACL information only.
 
 
-m [pathname...]
 
Display statistics for each NFS mounted file system. If pathname is not specified, displays statistics for all NFS mounted file systems. If pathname is specified, displays statistics for the NFS mounted file systems indicated by pathname.
 
This includes the server name and address, mount flags, current read and write sizes, the retransmission count, the attribute cache timeout values, failover information, and the timers used for dynamic retransmission. The dynamic retransmission timers are displayed only where dynamic retransmission is in use. By default, NFS mounts over the TCP protocols and NFS Version 3 mounts over either TCP or UDP do not use dynamic retransmission.
 
If you specify the -m option, this is the only option that nfsstat uses. If you specify other options with -m, you receive an error message alerting that the -m flag cannot be combined with other options.
 
 
-n
 
Display NFS information. NFS information for both the client and server side are printed. Can be combined with the -c and -s options to print client or server NFS information only.
 
 
-r
 
Display RPC information.
 
 
-s
 
Display server information.
 
 
-T u | d
 
Display a time stamp.
 
Specify u for a printed representation of the internal representation of time. See time(2). Specify d for standard date format. See date(1).
 
 
-v version
 
Specify which NFS version for which to print statistics. When followed by the optional version argument, (2|3|4), specifies statistics for that version. By default, prints statistics for all versions.
 
 
-z
 
Zero (reinitialize) statistics. This option is for use by the super user only, and can be combined with any of the above options to zero particular sets of statistics after printing them.
 

OPERANDS

The following operands are supported:
 
count
 
Display only count reports
 
 
interval
 
Report once each interval seconds.
 
 
pathname
 
Specify the pathname of a file in an NFS mounted file system for which statistics are to be displayed.
 

DISPLAYS

The server RPC display includes the following fields:
 
badcalls
 
The total number of calls rejected by the RPC layer (the sum of badlen and xdrcall as defined below).
 
 
badlen
 
The number of RPC calls with a length shorter than a minimum-sized RPC call.
 
 
calls
 
The total number of RPC calls received.

nullrecv
 
The number of times an RPC call was not available when it was thought to be received.
 
 
xdrcall
 
The number of RPC calls whose header could not be XDR decoded.
 
 
The server NFS display shows the number of NFS calls received ( calls) and rejected (badcalls), and the counts and percentages for the various calls that were made.
 
The server NFS_ACL display shows the counts and percentages for the various calls that were made.
 
The client RPC display includes the following fields:
 
calls
 
The total number of RPC calls made.
 
 
badcalls
 
The total number of calls rejected by the RPC layer.
 
 
badverfs
 
The number of times the call failed due to a bad verifier in the response.
 
 
badxids
 
The number of times a reply from a server was received which did not correspond to any outstanding call.
 
 
cantconn
 
The number of times the call failed due to a failure to make a connection to the server.
 
 
cantsend
 
The number of times a client was unable to send an RPC request over a connectionless transport when it tried to do so.
 
 
interrupts
 
The number of times the call was interrupted by a signal before completing.
 
 
newcreds
 
The number of times authentication information had to be refreshed.
 
 
nomem
 
The number of times the call failed due to a failure to allocate memory.
 
 
retrans
 
The number of times a call had to be retransmitted due to a timeout while waiting for a reply from the server. Applicable only to RPC over connection-less transports.
 
 
timeouts
 
The number of times a call timed out while waiting for a reply from the server.
 
 
timers
 
The number of times the calculated time-out value was greater than or equal to the minimum specified time-out value for a call.
 
 
The client NFS display shows the number of calls sent and rejected, as well as the number of times a CLIENT handle was received (clgets), the number of times the CLIENT handle cache had no unused entries ( cltoomany), as well as a count of the various calls and their respective percentages.
 
The client NFS_ACL display shows the counts and percentages for the various calls that were made.
 
The -m option includes information about mount flags set by mount options, mount flags internal to the system, and other mount information. See mount_nfs(1M).
