PROBE::NFSD.COMMIT(3stap)

✨ PROBE::NFSD.COMMIT ✨

okay bestie, gather round, it's time to talk about probe::nfsd.commit from the Network File Storage Tapsets, and honestly? it's giving the NFS server finally committing all its pending writes to stable storage. main character energy, no cap. πŸ’…

This page lives in section 3stap (that's the SystemTap tapset reference, iykyk) and it's a probe point, not a command, so don't go trying to run it like a binary. 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

probe::nfsd.commit β€” the NFS server committing all pending writes to stable storage. literally that. that's the whole vibe. πŸ’–


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

probe nfsd.commit {}

that's it, that's the whole signature, so clean, so iconic, so slay ✨


πŸ’œ VALUES πŸ’œ

the goodies you get to peek at inside the probe handler:

  • fh β€” the file handle, bestie. and lowkey important: the first part is the length of the file handle, so don't just go assuming it's all handle. πŸ™ˆ
  • offset β€” the offset of the file. where in the file we're at, fr fr.
  • client_ip β€” the IP address of the client. hi who are you 🌈
  • count β€” read bytes. yes, that's what it says, we're keeping it exactly as written πŸ“
  • flag β€” indicates whether this execution is a sync operation. so basically it's telling you if we're being sync-y about it or not πŸ’€
  • size β€” read bytes. again, exactly as the page says it, not a typo, don't come for me πŸŽ€
pro tip from your girl: these are probe values, so they only make sense inside the probe handler. don't go asking for fh outside the probe, it's not gonna answer, it's not that kind of girl. ✨
