NFS I/O statistics tools (mountstats and nfsiostat)

From nfs-utils-stats 3.1.1-r0 (os), captured 2026-11-05 by running nfsiostat --help (exit 0). permalink

Usage: nfsiostat [ <interval> [ <count> ] ] [ <options> ] [ <mount point> ]

 Sample iostat-like program to display NFS client per-mount' statistics.  The <interval> parameter
specifies the amount of time in seconds between each report.  The first report contains statistics
for the time since each file system was mounted.  Each subsequent report contains statistics
collected during the interval since the previous report.  If the <count> parameter is specified,
the value of <count> determines the number of reports generated at <interval> seconds apart.  If
the interval parameter is specified without the <count> parameter, the command generates reports
continuously. If one or more <mount point> names are specified, statistics for only these mount
points will be displayed.  Otherwise, all NFS mount points on the client are listed.
