i'm planning to migrate about one-third of an existing F330's filespace to another F330. what i want to do is move the most frequently accessed third, so it has its own dedicated toaster.

there are currently three file trees, each separately listed in exports, each with its own CIFS share. is there any kind of monitoring tool i can use to give me some idea of which of these three is the most heavily used?

There is a program called nfswatch (a network snooper), but it only handles NFSv2 and may not have the information you want.

If the traffic to each of the three file trees is used more by certain hosts, another method is to use the per-client statistics to make an educated guess.

You could also monitor the turnover on each tree's filesystem - atime changes, mtime changes, etc.
