FSSTAT(8) Maintenance Commands and Procedures FSSTAT(8)

NAME

fsstat - report file system statistics

SYNOPSIS

fsstat [-a|f|i|n|v] [-T | u|d] {-F | {fstype|path}...}
[interval [count]]

DESCRIPTION

fsstat reports kernel file operation activity by the file system type
(fstype) or by the path name, which is converted to a mount point.
The first set of lines of output reports all activity since:

o The file system module was loaded (in the case of fstype)

o The file system was mounted (in the case of mount point)

Statistics are gathered at the file system independent layer at both
the fstype and the mount point levels. However, not all file system
types are represented in the gathering of statistics. (See the NOTES
section of this man page.)

The output of fsstat is dependent on the mode (option) requested. All
statistic fields are displayed using "smart numbers" which
automatically scale the units in a human readable form that fits in a
maximum of 5 characters. For example:

100
is displayed as 100

2048
is displayed as 2K

3000000
is displayed as 2.86M

The unit modifiers are: K (Kbyte), M (Mbyte), G (Gbyte), T
(terabyte), P (petabyte), and E (exabyte).

During the execution of fsstat, the state of the system can change.
If relevant, a state change message is included in the fsstat output
in one of the following forms:

<<mount point no longer available: {path}>>
<<file system module no longer loaded: {fstype}>>

After the state change messages are displayed, fsstat continues to
display the statistics as directed. If all of the fstypes and mount
points that fsstat was reporting on are no longer available, then
fsstat exits.

The user is required to specify the -F option (all available file
system types) or a list of one or more fstypes and/or mount points.

The default report shows general file system activity. This display
combines similar operations into general categories as follows:

new file
Number of creation operations for file system objects
(for example, files, directories, symlinks, etc.)

name remov
Number of name removal operations

name chng
Number of name change operations

attr get
Number of object attribute retrieval operations

attr set
Number of object attribute change operations

lookup ops
Number of object lookup operations

rddir ops
Number of read directory operations

read ops
Number of data read operations

read bytes
Bytes transferred by data read operations

write ops
Number of data write operations

write bytes
Bytes transferred by data write operations

The entity being reported on (fstype or mount point) is displayed in
the last column.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-a
Report the activity for kernel attribute operations. The
following statistics are reported:

getattr
Number of file attribute retrieval calls

setattr
Number of file attribute modification calls

getsec
Number of file security attribute retrieval
calls

setsec
Number of file security attribute modification
calls

The entity being reported on (fstype or mount point) is
displayed in the last column.

-f
Report the full activity for all kernel file operations.
Each file operation is listed in the left column. The
following statistics are reported for each operation:

#ops
Number of calls for this operation

bytes
Average transfer size in bytes (only applies to
read, write, readdir)

The entity being reported on (fstype or mount point) is
displayed in the first row.

-i
Reports the activity for kernel I/O operations. The
following statistics are reported:

read ops
Number of data read calls

read bytes
Number of bytes read

write ops
Number of data write calls

write bytes
Number of bytes written

rddir ops
Number of read directory calls

rddir bytes
Number of bytes read by reading directories

rwlock ops
Number of internal file system lock
operations

rwulock ops
Number of internal file system unlock
operations

The entity being reported on (fstype or mount point) is
displayed in the last column.

-n
Reports the activity for kernel naming operations. The
following statistics are reported:

lookup
Number of file name retrieval calls

creat
Number of file creation calls

remov
Number of file remove calls

link
Number of link calls

renam
Number of file renaming calls

mkdir
Number of directory creation calls

rmdir
Number of directory removal calls

rddir
Number of directory read calls

symlink
Number of symlink creation calls

rdlink
Number of symlink read calls

The entity being reported on (fstype or mount point) is
displayed in the last column.

-v
Reports the activity for calls to the virtual memory
operations. The following statistics are reported.

map
Number of calls mapping a file

addmap
Number of calls setting additional mapping to a
mapped file

delmap
Number of calls deleting mapping to a file

getpag
Number of calls retrieving a page of data from a
file

putpag
Number of calls writing a page of data to a file

pagio
Number of calls to transfer pages in file system
swap files

The entity being reported on (fstype or mount point) is
displayed in the last column.

-F
Report on all available file system types.

-T u|d
Display a time stamp.

Specify u for a printed representation of the internal
representation of time (see time(2)) Specify d for the
standard date format. (See date(1)). The time stamp is only
used when an interval is set.

OPERANDS

The following operands are supported:

count
Display only count reports.

fstype
Explicitly specify the file system type(s) to be
reported. The file system module must be loaded.

interval
Report once each interval seconds.

path
Specify the path(s) of the mount point(s) to be reported.
If path is not a mount point, the mount point containing
path will be determined and displayed in the output.

If no interval and no count are specified, a single report is printed
and fsstat exits. If an interval is specified but no count is
specified, fsstat prints reports every interval seconds indefinitely
until the command is interrupted.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

See environ(7) for descriptions of the following environment
variables that affect the execution of fsstat: LANG, LC_ALL,
LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, LC_TIME, and NLSPATH.

EXIT STATUS

The following exit values are returned:

0
Successful completion.

1
A fatal error occurred. A fatal error could be a failed system
call or another internal error.

2
Invalid command-line options were specified.

ATTRIBUTES

NOTES

All display options (-a, -f, -i, -n, -v) are mutually exclusive.
Entering more than one of these options will result in an error.

The fstype and path operands must appear after the option, but before
the interval or count on the command line. For example, "fsstat -a
fstype interval". Preference is given to fstype so that if a user
wishes to see the statistics for a directory that has the same name
as an fstype (for example, ufs), then the path must be specified
unambiguously (for example, ./ufs). Similarly, in order to define a
file with a numeric name (for example, "10") from an interval or
count operand, the name should be prefixed accordingly (for example,
./10).

When an interval is used, headers repeat after more than 12 lines of
statistics have been displayed and the set of lines to be displayed
in the current interval have completed.

Statistics are not displayed for all pseudo-filesystems. The output
displayed with the -F option shows which of the loaded filesystem
types are supported.

Unbundled file systems may not be recognized by fsstat.

The command-line options are classified as Unstable and could change.
The output is not considered to be an interface. The construction of
higher level software tools depend on either the command-line options
or the output of fsstat is not recommended.
