This patchset is intended to fix several bugs in nfsiostat and
'mountstats iostat', in particular when an <interval> is specified.

Specifically, the patches address the following issues when printing
multiple times:

* both nfsiostat and 'mountstats iostat':
    - if <count> is also specified, the scripts sleep an additional
      <interval> after printing <count> times, and parse mountstats
      unnecessarily before checking the <count>

    - if no nfs mounts are present when printing, the scripts output
      a message that there are no nfs mounts, and exit immediately.

      However, if multiple intervals are indicated, it makes more sense
      to output the message and sleep until the next iteration; there
      may be nfs mounts the next time through.

    - if mountpoints are specified on the command-line, but are not
      present during an iteration, the scripts crash.


  * 'mountstats iostat':
    - if an nfs filesystem is unmounted between iterations, the
      script will crash attempting to reference the non-existent
      mountpoint in the new mountstats file (or if another filesystem
      type is mounted at that location, will instead crash while
      comparing old and new stats)

    - new nfs mounts are not detected


  * nfsiostat:
    - if a new nfs filesystem is mounted between iterations, the
      script will crash attempting to reference the non-existent
      mountpoint in the old mountstats file

    - if a mountpoint is specified on the command-line, but topmost
      mount there is not nfs, the script crashes while trying to
      compare old and new stats


To address these issues, the patches do the following:
  * when printing diff stats from previous iteration:
    - verify that a device exists in the old mountstats before referencing it
    - verify that both old and new fstypes are the same

  * when filtering the current mountstats file:
    - verify the device exists in the mountstats file before referencing it
    - filter the list of nfs mountpoints each iostat iteration

  * check for empty device list and output the 'No NFS mount points found'
     message, but don't immediately exit the script

  * merge the infinite loop and counted loop, and (for the counted loop)
     decrement and check the count before sleeping and parsing the mountstats
     file


Frank Sorenson (8):
   mountstats/nfsiostat: add a function to return the fstype
   mountstats: when printing iostats, verify that old and new types are
     the same
   nfsiostat: mirror how mountstats iostat prints the stats
   nfsiostat: fix crash when filtering mountstats after unmount
   nfsiostat: make comment explain mount/unmount more broadly
   mountstats: filter for nfs mounts in a function, each iostat iteration
   mountstats/nfsiostat: Move the checks for empty mountpoint list into
     the print function
   mountstats/nfsiostat: merge and rework the infinite and counted loops

Frank... nice work... but I hate to break the news... with all
these changes... You now own these commands! :-) Just ask mrchuck ;-)

Committed... (tag nfs-utils-2-8-3-rc5)
