Subject: Too man programs calls nfsiostat.


Hi all,
it seems that in 2010, a program called nfsiostat was added to the sysstat
package (http://sebastien.godard.pagesperso-orange.fr/)

This is unfortunate because in 2008 a program called nfsiostat was added to
the nfs-utils package.
(https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/nfs-utils/1.2.7/)

The default install locations seem to be different (/usr/bin vs /usr/sbin),
so packagers would not immediately notice.

This seems like something that should be "fixed".

Any suggestions what a good "fix" should look like?

This is no longer a question as I already answered it. Please *read* my

In fact, the various patches applied to nfsiostat over the last few
years were mainly cosmetic ones (changes in sysstat APIs, etc.)
So I propose now to simply remove nfsiostat code from sysstat: Next
sysstat version will rename nfsiostat (eg. to nfsiostat-sysstat) and the
man page will indicate it is now obsolete and point to the version from
nfs-utils. Then nfsiostat will be definitively removed sometime before
the end of this year.

What does the sysstat version do? do we need two programs, or can they be merged? Or can one be dropped?

I did... but thought Neil's mail was pointing out that some type of
maintenance was happening... But if you say it's "no longer actively being maintained"
I'll believe you... :-)

So what is the next step to deprecate the nfsiostat in sysstat?

So I have a suggestion.
I propose we rename the "nfsiostat" in the "sysstat" package to
"nfsio-sysstat" and the "nfsiostat" in "nfs-utils" to
"nfs-utils-iostat".

Does anyone object? If not I'll send off patches shortly :-)

I guess the question now is do they want to continue maintaining
it or just merge the functionality into the nfs-utils version...

The nfsiostat command from the sysstat package is actually no longer
actively being maintained.
So I think that it can be merged with that from nfs-utils package.
