how to zero nfs counters

I was trying to zero my nfs statistics counters and get an error message:

nfsstat -z
nfsstat: zeroing of nfs statistics not yet supported

Is this still the standard situation or is there a patch that fixes this. I
just installed the latest CentOS 5.4 distro so I thought my NFS server was
pretty up to date. In any case, tried "yum search nfs" but not sure what
packages needs updating for the nfs server.

Also checked via rpm and I only have 2 nfs packages:

rpm -qa | grep nfs
nfs-utils-lib-1.0.8-7.6.el5
nfs-utils-1.0.9-42.el5

yum shows both these packages as being up-todate.

Any sugesstions on how to zero the NFS counters?

As a workaround, you might consider "beforeafter" from:

ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/tools/

compile it then:

nfsstat > before
<do something>
nfsstat > after
beforeafter before after > delta
<look at delta>

Down how? I just accessed the so I am confident the server is up and
running, and I didn't have a typo in there.
