Description Christina Delahanty 2006-12-08 00:44:14 UTC
We have discovered on both a VM and a physical system that the “iostat –x” (-x 
returns extended statistics) that we use to gather Disk instance and statistics 
information is not working correctly.  Notice the output from the RH 4 system 
at the bottom actually returns the disk instance and statistics about the disk 
but the RH 5 does not. 

 

Output from the Red Hat 5 Beta 2 system:
