📖 NAME

cifsiostat — Report CIFS statistics.

🚀 Quick Reference

Use Case	Command	Description
📊 Display CIFS stats continuously	cifsiostat	Shows statistics since boot, then updates every interval seconds.
⏱ Set update interval	cifsiostat 2	Reports every 2 seconds.
🔢 Specify number of reports	cifsiostat 1 5	Generates 5 reports at 1-second intervals.
💾 Use kilobytes	cifsiostat -k	Display values in kilobytes per second.
💿 Use megabytes	cifsiostat -m	Display values in megabytes per second.
📏 Human-readable sizes	cifsiostat --human	Print sizes like 1.0k, 1.2M, etc.
🎨 Pretty output	cifsiostat -h	Equivalent to --human --pretty
🕐 Timestamp each report	cifsiostat -t	Adds time to each report header.

📋 SYNOPSIS

cifsiostat  [ -h ] [ -k | -m ] [ -t ] [ -V ] [ --dec={ 0 | 1 | 2 } ] [ --human ] [ --pretty ]
[ interval [ count ] ]

📝 DESCRIPTION

The cifsiostat command displays statistics about read and write operations on CIFS filesystems.

The interval parameter specifies the amount of time in seconds between each report. The first report contains statistics for the time since system startup (boot). Each subsequent report contains statistics collected during the interval since the previous report. A report consists of a CIFS header row followed by a line of statistics for each CIFS filesystem that is mounted. The count parameter can be specified in conjunction with the interval parameter. If the count parameter is specified, the value of count determines the number of reports generated at interval seconds apart. If the interval parameter is specified without the count parameter, the cifsiostat command generates reports continuously.

📊 REPORT

The CIFS report provides statistics for each mounted CIFS filesystem. The report shows the following fields:

• Filesystem: This column shows the mount point of the CIFS filesystem.
• rB/s (rkB/s, rMB/s) — Indicate the average number of bytes (kilobytes, megabytes) read per second.
• wB/s (wkB/s, wMB/s) — Indicate the average number of bytes (kilobytes, megabytes) written per second.
• rop/s — Indicate the number of 'read' operations that were issued to the filesystem per second.
• wop/s — Indicate the number of 'write' operations that were issued to the filesystem per second.
• fo/s — Indicate the number of open files per second.
• fc/s — Indicate the number of closed files per second.
• fd/s — Indicate the number of deleted files per second.

⚙️ OPTIONS

🎯 --dec={ 0 | 1 | 2 }

Specify the number of decimal places to use (0 to 2, default value is 2).

🎨 -h

This option is equivalent to specifying --human --pretty.

📏 --human

Print sizes in human readable format (e.g. 1.0k, 1.2M, etc.). The units displayed with this option supersede any other default units (e.g. kilobytes, sectors...) associated with the metrics.

💾 -k

Display statistics in kilobytes per second.

💿 -m

Display statistics in megabytes per second.

✨ --pretty

Make the CIFS report easier to read by a human.

🕐 -t

Print the time for each report displayed. The timestamp format may depend on the value of the S_TIME_FORMAT environment variable (see below).

ℹ️ -V

Print version number then exit.

🌍 ENVIRONMENT

The cifsiostat command takes into account the following environment variables:

• S_COLORS — By default statistics are displayed in color when the output is connected to a terminal. Use this variable to change the settings. Possible values: never, always or auto (the latter is equivalent to the default settings). Note that the color (red, yellow, etc.) used to display a value is not indicative of any issue — it only indicates different ranges of values.
• S_COLORS_SGR — Specify the colors and other attributes used to display statistics on the terminal. Its value is a colon-separated list of capabilities that defaults to I=32;22:N=34;1:Z=34;22. Supported capabilities: I= (SGR substring for filesystem names), N= (SGR substring for non-zero statistics values), Z= (SGR substring for zero values).
• S_TIME_FORMAT — If this variable exists and its value is ISO, the current locale will be ignored when printing the date in the report header. The command will use ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD) instead. The timestamp displayed with option -t will also be ISO 8601 compliant.

🐛 BUG

/proc filesystem must be mounted for cifsiostat to work.

Although cifsiostat speaks of kilobytes (kB), megabytes (MB)..., it actually uses kibibytes (kiB), mebibytes (MiB)... A kibibyte is equal to 1024 bytes, and a mebibyte is equal to 1024 kibibytes.

📁 FILE

/proc/fs/cifs/Stats contains CIFS statistics.
