PROBE::NFS.PROC.(3stap)

💖 PROBE::NFS.PROC.CREATE 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Network File Storage Tapsets section of the SystemTap Tapset Reference (section 3stap, yes we're fancy) — and today's main character is a probe that catches your NFS client in the act of creating a file on the server. it's giving "new file just dropped" ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

probe::nfs.proc.create — the NFS client is creating a file on the server, and this probe is here to witness it 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

probe nfs.proc.create {}

that's it. no args, no drama, just vibes. she takes nothing and she delivers everything 💅

---

🎀 VALUES 🎀

these are the little goodies this probe hands you when it fires. collect them all, they're iconic:

• fh — the file handle of the parent dir (aka the folder that's about to get a brand new baby file 🥹)
• server_ip — the IP address of the server, so you always know who's hosting this party 🌐
• filename — the file name. literally the name of the file. she said "hi, this is me" 💖
• prot — the transfer protocol in play 🚚
• flag — indicates the create mode. heads up bestie: this one's only for NFSv3 and NFSv4, so if you're on something else, don't come looking for it 🙈
• version — the NFS version. and lowkey the tea here is that the function is used for all NFS versions, so she's booked and busy across the whole lineup 👑
• filelen — the length of the file name. short name, long name, she's measuring either way 📏

---

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• tapset::nfs_proc(3stap) — go read your sister page, she's also slaying ✨

---

real talk: flag is only there for NFSv3 and NFSv4, so don't be shocked when she ghosts you on other versions. no cap 🫡

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this was the SystemTap Tapset Reference, version from September 2026 — mwah, go forth and trace some file creations 💖🎀🦋🌸💅✨
