Where are NFS logs located?

There is NFS logging utility in Solaris called nfslogd (NFS transfer logs). It has a configuration file /etc/nfs/nfslog. conf and stores logs in a file /var/nfs/nfslog .

How do I view NFS logs?

How to Enable NFS Server Logging

1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.
2. (Optional) Change file-system configuration settings.
3. Add entries for each file system to be shared by using NFS server logging.
4. Check if the NFS service is running on the server.
5. (Optional) Start the NFS service.

How do I check NFS shares?

Run the showmount command with the server name to check which NFS exports are available. In this example, localhost is the server name. The output shows the available exports and the IP which they are available from.

Where do I find the NFS server logs?

Detailed logging for both the NFS server and its clients can be obtained using rpcdebug, which will generate kernel logs (so they’ll show up in, e.g. /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog, etc. depending on your distro). The general form is rpcdebug -m [module] -s [flags]: -m [module]: this specifies the module to log.

Where can I find NFS utils in Linux?

Network File System (NFS) is a file system protocol that allows client machines to access network attached filesystems (called exports) from a host system. NFS is supported by the Linux kernel and userspace daemons and utilities are found in the net-fs/nfs-utils package.

Do you need inotify support for NFSv4?

Inotify support is only required for NFSv4. NFSv3 is only required for compatibility with legacy clients e.g. the BusyBox mount command does not support NFSv4. Client kernel support must be enabled on each system connecting to the host running the NFS exports. Server kernel support is only necessary on the system hosting the NFS exports.

How to set the debugging flag for NFS?

This can be nfs, nfsd, rpc, or nlm — for general NFS logs on the server, use nfsd; for general NFS logs on the client, use nfs -s [flags]: this sets the debugging flag (s) that you want the kernel to log.
