RE: NFS probes with redhat 4 update 3/4

David,

After I install kernel-debuginfo rpm, it works like a charm. 

Thanks,

On FC6 (kernel 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6), here's what I get:

#  stap -p2 -v -e 'probe module("nfs").function("*") { }' | grep -v 
'[{}]' | wc -l
Pass 1: parsed user script and 54 library script(s) in 
680usr/30sys/716real ms.
Pass 2: analyzed script: 638 probe(s), 0 function(s), 0 embed(s), 0 
global(s) in 260usr/210sys/481real ms.
639

So, systemtap sees 638 (1 line is '# probes') different functions in the 
nfs module.  On FC6, you need to have the following kernel debug 
information installed for the above to work:

kernel-debuginfo-2.6.19-1.2911.fc6
kernel-debuginfo-common-2.6.19-1.2911.fc6

It looks like either the debug information for the module isn't 
installed or systemtap can't find it.
