The nfsstat command displays statistics about NFS and Remote Procedure Calls
(RPCs) for the filer. You can use the output of this command to find performance bot-
tlenecks or inefficiencies in your NFS setup.
NOTE: A full description of the meaning of NFS statistics is outside the scope of this
guide. A good source of information about this topic is Managing NFS and NIS by Hal
