Viewing NFS client operations


While reading through the NFS RFCs this week, I decided to write nfsclientstats.pl to view NFS operations by process:

$ nfsclientstats.pl

process read write readdir getattr setattr lookup access create remove rename mkdir rmdir
mkdir 0 0 0 380 0 190 0 0 0 0 190 0
mv 0 0 0 189 0 1890 2079 0 0 189 0 0
orca 3328 194 0 5496 6 6882 8246 12 0 0 0 0
rm 0 0 760 950 0 2850 5320 0 190 0 0 190
touch 0 0 0 378 189 1512 1323 189 0 0 0 0

process read write readdir getattr setattr lookup access create remove rename mkdir rmdir
mkdir 0 0 0 386 0 193 0 0 0 0 193 0
mv 0 0 0 195 0 1950 2145 0 0 195 0 0
orca 3110 169 0 8312 22 10434 12476 44 0 0 0 0
rm 0 0 780 975 0 2925 5460 0 195 0 0 195
touch 0 0 0 388 194 1552 1358 194 0 0 0 0

The script uses the DTrace FBT provider, and produces output that is greater than 80-characters. If you are an 80-column purist, you might want to refrain from downloading the script. ;) Hope folks find this useful!
