Testing performance of NFS

Andrew
Engager

I've read in the docs that the disk performance should be 800 IOPs. How can I test this when the disk is NFS (I can't find a tool which shows IOPs for NFS filesystems)?

I've also seen others here have tested NFS performance using bonnie, but what results should I be looking for since bonnie doesn't state IOPs?

You should use bonnie++. The IO/s is reported as the last column, random seeks/sec.
