Could you build this?
Partial A real NFS diagnostic utility requires network packet inspection (RPC/XDR decoding) and deep understanding of the Network File System RFCs and Linux VFS internals.
What it would actually take: Typically written in C, Go, or Rust, capturing network packets via libpcap or interfacing with Linux tracepoints/eBPF to inspect NFS mount performance, latency, and RPC call state machines. The hard part is parsing low-level XDR/RPC protocols and translating raw kernel metrics into actionable diagnostic insights, requiring deep network storage expertise.
