    I'm going to presume you're talking about "iostat", not vmstat as you've
    said in the subject.

    The nfs## output is what you'll get if you don't use the -n option. With
    the -n option it should show the actual NFS path. eg :

    iostat -xc
    [...]
    nfs55 0.8 0.0 3.5 0.0 0.0 0.0 6.4 0 1
    nfs56 2.5 0.0 13.9 0.0 0.0 0.0 4.1 0 1

    iostat -xcn
    [...]
        2.4 0.0 10.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 6.4 0 2 myserv:/home/user
        7.7 0.0 43.2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 4.0 0 3 myserv:/usr/local

    (Real examples with the server name/path munged)
