Description Branislav Náter 2011-03-24 16:34:14 UTC

Description of problem:
It seams that cifsiostat doesn't report files opened on share mounted from linux machine. cifsiostat obtains values from /proc/fs/cifs/Stats. When file on linux share is opened, this action is counted as "Posix Opens" in /proc/fs/cifs/Stats file and is not reported by cifsiostat. I think cifsiostat should also take "Posix Opens" into account.

cat /proc/fs/cifs/Stats
...snipped...
Opens: 0 Closes: 1 Deletes: 0
Posix Opens: 1 Posix Mkdirs: 0
...snipped...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sysstat-9.0.4-16.el6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mount writable share located on linux server
2. run "cifsiostat 1" in first terminal
3. run "touch /mounted/share/foo.txt" on second terminal
4. examine cifsiostat reports
  
Actual results:
Filesystem:      rB/s   wB/s    rops/s    wops/s   fo/s    fc/s    fd/s
\\server\share   0.00   0.00    0.00      0.00     0.00    1.00    0.00

Expected results:
Filesystem:      rB/s   wB/s    rops/s    wops/s   fo/s    fc/s    fd/s
\\server\share   0.00   0.00    0.00      0.00     1.00    1.00    0.00
