How can I measure throughput of my nfs and samba?

[tanakorn]

I export my disk as an nfs and samba and I want to know how can I measure my nfs and my samba throughput.

I try to use nfsstat but it doesn't show about it.

Does anyone know how can I find these values?

Create a large file of random data:
# dd if=/dev/random of=/path/to/nfs/export/bigfile.100M bs=1M count=100

On the server, run iftop or trafshow to monitor the traffic going through a NIC:

# pkg_add -r iftop
# iftop -n -i mynic0

From an NFS client, copy that file to a local filesystem, and watch the speeds that appear in iftop/trafshow.

Do the same from a samba client.

Also you can monitor interface load with [cmd=]systat -ifs[/cmd] (write :scale mbit to show in megabits)

The throughput that I mean is current throughput, not the maximum throughput. The method that you recommended me can't use. I don't think measure throughput by monitor interface is work because I use the same interface for my nfs disk and samba.

The throughput that measure by this way is the throughput of nfs + samba + other services, isn't it?

netstat -Iem0 -w1 -h
