Usage

Overview

nfsstat displays statistics kept about NFS client and server activity, active user activity, exported directories, and mount information. In the absence of any options, nfsstat displays NFS client and server statistics.

The options are as follows:

-c

Show NFS client statistics.

-e

Show NFS server exported directory statistics.

-m [ mountpath]

Show NFS mount information.

-s

Show NFS server statistics.

-3

Print only NFS v3 statistics.

-4

Print only NFS v4 statistics.

-u

Show NFS server active user statistics.

-f JSON

Print output as JSON format.

-w wait

Display a shorter summary at wait second intervals.

-n net|user

Show network addresses as numbers, or show users as uid numbers. This option can appear multiple times.

-z

Zero NFS client and server statistics.

-E

Show NFS protocol errors statistics.

-v

Show additional information (if available).

Server Faults

Errors in the NFS server.

Server Cache Stats

Statistics from the NFS server's RPC duplicate request cache:

Inprog

Misses

Cache Misses.

Server Write Gathering

These statistics describe the efficiency of the NFS server's write gathering feature.
