PROBE::NFS.PROC.(3stap)

πŸ’… probe::nfs.proc.rename_setup πŸ’…

okay bestie, gather round, because we're diving into the Network File Storage Tapsets manual (that's the 3stap fam, iykyk) and this one is a lil cutie. no cap. πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

probe::nfs.proc.rename_setup β€” the NFS client setting up a rename RPC task. it's giving "getting ready", not "doing the thing". periodt. πŸ’–


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

probe nfs.proc.rename_setup {}

look at her. no arguments. just vibes. πŸŽ€


✨ VALUES ✨

so when this probe fires, here's the lil squad of values you get to peek at πŸ‘‘

  • prot β€” the transfer protocol. literally just which protocol is moving the bytes. 🌈
  • version β€” the NFS version. which era of NFS we're in, bestie. ⭐
  • fh β€” file handle of the parent dir. that's the directory that contains the thing being renamed, not the thing itself. lowkey important distinction. 🫢
  • server_ip β€” IP address of the server. where the whole convo is happening. πŸ“

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so the rename_setup function is used to setup a rename RPC task. that's it. that's the job.

⚠️ heads up bestie: this is NOT doing the actual rename operation. it's the pregame, not the party. do not come for this probe expecting a rename to have happened, because it hasn't. πŸ’€

the way that this probe is literally just the setup era of a rename... we love a preparatory queen. main character energy but make it infrastructure. πŸ”₯
