SYNOPSISnfsstat [-cseuv] [-w wait] [-n net|user] [-m [mountpath]]
DESCRIPTIONnfsstat displays statistics kept about NFS client and server activity,
active user activity, exported directories, and mount information. In
the absence of any options, nfsstat displays NFS client and server sta‐
tistics.
The options are as follows:
-c Show NFS client statistics.
-e Show NFS server exported directory statistics.
-m [mountpath]
Show NFS mount information.
-s Show NFS server statistics.
-u Show NFS server active user statistics.
-w wait
Display a shorter summary at wait second intervals.
-n net|user
Show network addresses as numbers, or show users as uid numbers.
This option can appear multiple times.
-v Show additional information (if available).
