lsof and nfs connections
 

Hi all,


while I was playing with lsof and netstat I noticed something strange, or at least something I couldn't figure it out.

I have an nfs v3 share mounted and I can see the connection established with the server by running netstat.
I was expecting to see this connection also by running lsof, but this is not the case.

[root@MYHOST ~]# lsof -nn -P -i | grep '2049'
[root@MYHOST ~]# lsof -nn -P | grep '2049'



Could you clarify this point to me please ?

You need to add the -N flag.

Hi there,


actually lsof -N displays just nfs files related, but by running lsof it should pick all type of files.
I have also tried -N option anyway but nothing changed ( see below )
What I am looking for is not the open file ( in this case the test file I am editing with vi ) but the actual tcp connection established with the nfs server.
