NFS checks on HPUX

[Rick Garland]

Hi all:

Working mainly with HPUX 11.23 on ia64 & RISC systems. Wanting to check the status of NFS mounted filesystems - are they present? are they working? etc. In the Linux world there is the 'stat' command. In HPUX, stat does not exist from command line. Is there something similar in HPUX from the command line to check the NFS filesystems?

Many thanks!

BTW, I am looking at the nfsstat command but what should I be looking for in the output?

Perhaps:

df -g /nfs/mountpoint/.

Referencing "." will insure that you trigger the automounter, if you're using it, to get the NFS path, rather than the underlying local-filesystem mountpoint directory or the automounter handle.

The "nfsstat" command displays the overall statistics for the entire NFS subsystem, rather than for a particular filesystem.
