A command-line utility that displays statistical info about the Network File System (NFS) and Remote Procedure Call (RPC) calls. Used without parameters, this command displays all of the statistical data without resetting anything.

Syntax

nfsstat [-c][-s][-n][-r][-z][-m]

Parameters

Parameter Description
-c Displays only the client-side NFS and RPC and NFS calls sent and rejected by the client. To display NFS or RPC information only, combine this flag with the -n or -r parameter.
-s Displays only the server-side NFS and RPC and NFS calls sent and rejected by the server. To display NFS or RPC information only, combine this flag with the -n or -r parameter.
-m Displays information about mount flags set by mount options, mount flags internal to the system, and other mount information.
-n Displays NFS information for both the client and server. To display only the NFS client or server information, combine this flag with the -c or -s parameter.
-r Displays RPC information for both the client and server. To display only the RPC client or server information, combine this flag with the -c or -s parameter.
-z Resets the call statistics. This flag is only available to the root user and can be combined with any of the other parameters to reset particular sets of statistics after displaying them.
