💖 PROBE::NFSD.PROC.CREATE 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Network File Storage Tapsets section of the SystemTap manual — this one's PROBE::NFSD.PROC.CREATE, page PROBE::NFSD.PROC(3stap), and it's literally all about catching the NFS server in the act of making a file for a client. the way that a file gets born and we're just there watching? iconic. 👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

probe::nfsd.proc.create — NFS server creating a file for client 🎀

like, the moment the server is out here manifesting a brand new file on behalf of a client, this probe is the one who shows up.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

probe nfsd.proc.create {}

no arguments, no parameters, nothing to pass in — she takes no notes, she just knows. 🦋

---

💅 VALUES 💅

every value this probe hands you, no cap:

• fh — the file handle 🫶 (heads up bestie: the first part of it is the length of the file handle, so don't get confused when the numbers look weird — that's just how she's built)
• proto — the transfer protocol 🌈
• client_ip — the ip address of the client, aka who's asking 📍
• filelen — the length of the file name ✨
• version — the nfs version 🔢
• uid — the requester's user id 👤
• filename — the file name, the main character herself 🎀
• gid — the requester's group id 👥

ngl, that fh one is lowkey the trickiest — remember the length is baked into the front of it. iykyk. 💀
