SYNOPSIS

nfsiostat [[<interval>] [<count>]] [<options>][<mount_point>]

DESCRIPTION

The nfsiostat command displays NFS client per-mount statisitics.

<interval>
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.
<count>
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.
<options>

<mount_point>

- op/s
This is the number of operations per second.

- avg RTT (ms)
This is the duration from the time that client's kernel sends the RPC request until the time it receives the reply.

- avg exe (ms)
This is the duration from the time that NFS client does the RPC request to its kernel until the RPC request is completed, this includes the RTT time above.

- avg queue (ms)
