Subject: [PATCH] nfs-utils: add option to display throughput in MB/s
Date: Fri, 1 May 2026 22:56:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260501205604.653238-1-tigran.mkrtchyan@desy.de> (raw)
Nowadays,the network bandwidth in kB/s is quite a large number to read.
Thus, let nfsiostat display it in MB/s if requested.
