NAME

 nfsstat - NFS statistics

SYNOPSIS

 nfsstat [-cnrsmza]

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

nfsstat -csnra

That is, display everything, but reinitialize 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
Display statistics for each NFS mounted file system. 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. Note that 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 nfsstat uses. Any options specified in addition to -m are checked for validity, then ignored.

-n
Display NFS information. NFS information for both the client and server side will be 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.
-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.

DISPLAYS

 

The server RPC display includes the following fields:

calls
The total number of RPC calls received.
badcalls
The total number of calls rejected by the RPC layer (the sum of badlen and xdrcall as defined below).
nullrecv
The number of times an RPC call was not available when it was thought to be received.
badlen
The number of RPC calls with a length shorter than a minimum-sized RPC call.
xdrcall
The number of RPC calls whose header could not be XDR decoded.
dupchecks
The number of RPC calls that looked up in the duplicate request cache.
dupreqs
The number of RPC calls that were found to be duplicates.

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.
badxids
The number of times a reply from a server was received which did not correspond to any outstanding call.
timeouts
The number of times a call timed out while waiting for a reply from the server.
newcreds
The number of times authentication information had to be refreshed.
badverfs
The number of times the call failed due to a bad verifier in the response.
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.
cantconn
The number of times the call failed due to a failure to make a connection to the server.
nomem
The number of times the call failed due to a failure to allocate memory.
interrupts
The number of times the call was interrupted by a signal before completing.
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.
cantsend
The number of times a client was unable to send an RPC request over a connectionless transport when it tried to do so.

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).

The following mount flags are set by mount options:

sec
sec has one of the following values:
none
No authentication.
sys
UNIX-style authentication (UID, GID).
short
Short hand UNIX-style authentication.
dh
des-style authentication (encrypted timestamps).
krb5
kerberos v5-style authentication.
krb5i
kerberos v5-style authentication with integrity.
krb5p
kerberos v5-style authentication with privacy.
hard
Hard mount.
soft
Soft mount.
intr
Interrupts allowed on hard mount.
nointr
No interrupts allowed on hard mount.
noac
Client is not caching attributes.
rsize
Read buffer size in bytes.
wsize
Write buffer size in bytes.
retrans
NFS retransmissions.
timeo
Initial NFS timeout, in tenths of a second.
nocto
No close-to-open consistency.
llock
Local locking being used (no lock manager).
grpid
System V group id inheritance.
rpctimesync
RPC time sync.

The following mount flags are internal to the system:

printed
"Not responding" message printed.
down
Server is down.
dynamic
Dynamic transfer size adjustment.
link
Server supports links.
symlink
Server supports symbolic links.
readdir
Use readdir instead of readdirplus.
acl
Server supports NFS_ACL.

The following flags relate to additional mount information:

vers
NFS version.
proto
Protocol.

The -m option also provides attribute cache timeout values. The following fields in -m ouput provide timeout values for attribute cache:

acregmin
Minimum seconds to hold cached file attributes.
acregmax
Maximum seconds to hold cached file attributes.
acdirmin
Minimum seconds to hold cached directory attributes.
acdirmax
Maximum seconds to hold cached directory attributes.

The following fields in -m output provide failover information:

noresponse
How many times servers have failed to respond.
failover
How many times a new server has been selected.
remap
How may times files have been re-evaluated to the new server.
currserver
Which server is currently providing NFS service. See the System Administration Guide: IP Services for additional details.

The fields in -m output shown below provide information on dynamic retransmissions. Note that these items are displayed only where dynamic retransmission is in use.

srtt
The value for the smoothed round-trip time, in milliseconds.
dev
Estimated deviation, in milliseconds.
cur
Current backed-off retransmission value, in milliseconds.

EXIT STATUS

 

The following exit values are returned:

0
Successful completion.
>0
An error occurred.
