"procinfo" on Red Hat 7.1 is version "procinfo-17-10". It works fine with 
the 2.2 kernel, but the 2.4 kernel changed the format of the disk 
statistics in "/proc/stat". As a result, "procinfo" on Red Hat 7.1 doesn't 
display disk statistics. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Red Hat 7.1 and "procinfo".
2. Type "procinfo -Dn10" in a terminal window.
3. Do some disk activity. You won't see any disk statistics.
4. Repeat the above steps on a 7.0 system with the 2.2 kernel and you will 
see disk statistics.

Fixed in 18-1

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2001-05-03 13:33:58 UTC

That's great -- it's fixed in 18-1! When can I expect a new RPM to be posted to 
the Red Hat updates/errata site?

Comment 3 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-05-03 13:59:37 UTC

Not at all. We release errata packages for critical bugs and security problems 
only.

As the resolution ("RAWHIDE") indicates, you can get an updated package from 
our rawhide tree, 
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS where it should 
be available later this week.

It is already available at http://www.linux-easy.com/rh-updates/.
