NFS performance / diagnostic profiling with TCP

NFS performance / diagnostic profiling with TCP

[ntwrkd]

Does anyone have some methods for doing diagnostic / performance
profiling while using NFS over TCP?

Thanks in advance,

There's nfsstat.  Do you want something more than that?

You could use a tool like iozone, bonnie or nfsreplay to
generate a workload against the server and collect profiling samples
using oprofile. I ran a bunch of tests some time back using nfsreplay,
see the results on the page below as a sample of the kind of data you
could generate using oprofile:

Using tcpdump with tcptrace is really handy. 
You do something like:
tcpdump -s 100 -w /tmp/tcpdump.out host <hostname>
tcptrace -Sl /tmp/tcpdump.out
xplot /tmp/a2b_tsg.xpl

One very important thing to remember, if you are interested in how the 
tcp window is scaling, is to start tcpdump before you mount the server.  
The tcp window size depends on a scaling factor that it gets when the 
tcp connection is created (which is at mount time).
