nfsiostat \- Report input/output statistics for network filesystems (NFS).

.B nfsiostat [ -h ] [ -k | -m ] [ -t ] [ -V ] [
13
command displays statistics about read and write operations
18
parameter specifies the amount of time in seconds between
19
each report. The first report contains statistics for the time since
20
system startup (boot). Each subsequent report contains statistics
21
collected during the interval since the previous report.
22
A report consists of an NFS header row followed by
23
a line of statistics for each network filesystem that is mounted.
26
parameter can be specified in conjunction with the
30
parameter is specified, the value of
32
determines the number of reports generated at
36
parameter is specified without the
40
command generates reports continuously.
43
The Network Filesystem (NFS) report provides statistics for each mounted network filesystem.
44
Transfer rates are shown in 1K blocks by default, unless the environment
45
variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, in which case 512-byte blocks are used.
46
The report shows the following fields:
50
This columns shows the hostname of the NFS server followed by a colon and
51
by the directory name where the network filesystem is mounted.
54
.B rBlk_nor/s (rkB_nor/s, rMB_nor)
56
Indicate the number of blocks (kilobytes, megabytes) read by applications
57
via the read(2) system
58
call interface. A block has a size of 512 bytes.
61
.B wBlk_nor/s (wkB_nor/s, wMB_nor/s)
63
Indicate the number of blocks (kilobytes, megabytes) written by applications
64
via the write(2) system
68
.B rBlk_dir/s (rkB_dir/s, rMB_dir/s)
70
Indicate the number of blocks (kilobytes, megabytes) read from files
71
opened with the O_DIRECT flag.
74
.B wBlk_dir/s (wkB_dir/s, wMB_dir/s)
76
Indicate the number of blocks (kilobytes, megabytes) written to files
77
opened with the O_DIRECT flag.
80
.B rBlk_svr/s (rkB_svr/s, rMB_svr/s)
82
Indicate the number of blocks (kilobytes, megabytes) read from the server
83
by the NFS client via an NFS READ request.
86
.B wBlk_svr/s (wkB_svr/s, wMB_svr/s)
88
Indicate the number of blocks (kilobytes, megabytes) written to the server
89
by the NFS client via an NFS WRITE request.
94
Indicate the number of operations that were issued to the filesystem per second.
99
Indicate the number of 'read' operations that were issued to the filesystem
105
Indicate the number of 'write' operations that were issued to the filesystem
111
Make the NFS report easier to read by a human.
113
Display statistics in kilobytes per second.
115
Display statistics in megabytes per second.
117
Print the time for each report displayed. The timestamp format may depend
118
on the value of the S_TIME_FORMAT environment variable (see below).
120
Print version number then exit.
125
command takes into account the following environment variables:
128
If this variable exists and its value is
130
then the current locale will be ignored when printing the date in the report
133
command will use the ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD) instead.
134
The timestamp displayed with option -t will also be compliant with ISO 8601
138
When this variable is set, transfer rates are shown in 512-byte blocks instead
139
of the default 1K blocks.
143
