`/usr/bin/nfsiostat` provided by _sysstat_ has been deprecated in favor of `/sbin/nfsiostat` provided by _nfs-utils_
Previously, two packages provided executables of the same name: the _sysstat_ packages provided `/usr/bin/nfsiostat` and the _nfs-utils_ packages provided `/sbin/nfsiostat`. As a consequence, it was not clear which binary was executed unless the full path was specified. The *nfsiostat* utility provided by _sysstat_ has been deprecated in favor of the one provided by _nfs-utils_. In a transition period, the `nfsiostat` binary from the _sysstat_ packages is renamed to *nfsiostat-sysstat*.

We agreed with Steve to address this issue in nfs-utils package. This request was resolved in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0. Contact your manager or support representative in case you have further questions about the request. The comment above is incorrect. The correct version is bellow. I'm sorry for any inconvenience. --------------------------------------------------------------- This request was NOT resolved in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0. Contact your manager or support representative in case you need to escalate this bug. This also affects nfsometer, which is also shipped in rhel7. nfsometer expects the nfsiostat output format to match that of the nfs-utils version of the command, not the sysstat version of the command. As a result, nfsometer will log errors like this: nfsometer_trace-cthon-redhat-82.nfsv4bat.org-1433341725.03/: More than one NFS mount found, this will skew global stats like nfsstats nfsometer_trace-cthon-redhat-82.nfsv4bat.org-1433341665.4/: More than one NFS mount found, this will skew global stats like nfsstats nfsometer_trace-cthon-redhat-82.nfsv4bat.org-1433341695.29/: More than one NFS mount found, this will skew global stats like nfsstats and the throughput stats (Read KB/s, Write KB/s, Read Operations/s, Write operations/s, Read Average KB per Operation, Write Average KB per Operation, Read Average RTT, Write Average RTT) will be completely missing from the report.

Thanks. > > Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): > sysstat-10.0.3-2.el7 > nfs-utils-1.2.6-0.el7 Looking at the upstream version (f23) of sysstat it seemes they have changed the name of nfsiostat to nfsiostat-sysstat.
