nhfsstone

[Sean Dogar]

Has anybody used the nfs benchmarking utility "nhfsstone"? 

I can run it, and I can see that it's doing work (it makes test 
directories in the NFS-mounted directory that I start it from), but it 
never finishes it's testing or gives me any performance info.  I've 
tried the various options, including a -t 120 (I thought that this would 
restrict run-time to 120 seconds) and others, but I still get no output, 
even with verbose.  It doesn't send any output to files either.  It just 
runs and runs.   This is on a Redhat 8 machine as a client mounting an 
AIX NFS export. 

The man page is sort of vague, but I get the impression that you can run 
it without any arguments, and it will do a test with the various 
defaults, and eventually should return. 

Does anybody have any idea on this or do you know somewhere to point me 
for more info?  Most of the stuff I've found through Google has been the 
man page itself.

I'd look into its source code (only 36k of it) if I were you.

It seems that nhfsstone only benchmarks nfs v2 filesystems.  It is
likely that you are using v3.
