Description of problem:
scomes doesn't count read/written data on tmpfs


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
1. mount tmpfs on /tmp
2. $ cd /dir/on/regular/disk
3. $ cat load-disk-tmpfs.sh 
#!/bin/sh                  

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/data bs=1024 count=1024
dd if=/tmp/data of=/dev/null bs=1024 count=1024   

4. $ scomes  -c ./load-disk-tmpfs.sh 2
...
Read/Written bytes: 12654/0 (12654)
...

5. $  cat load-disk.sh
#!/bin/sh

dd if=/dev/urandom of=data bs=1024 count=1024
dd if=data of=/dev/null bs=1024 count=1024

6. $ scomes  -c ./load-disk.sh 2
...
Read/Written bytes: 1061215/1048576 (2109791)

Comment 2 Jan Hutař 2009-09-29 07:53:07 UTC 
Was not able to find anything useful. What about changing the labels to:

  Read/Written bytes (from/to device): ...
- Read/Written bytes (from/to cache): ...
+ Read/Written bytes (from/to N/A device): ...

Not perfect, but could be described in some doc.
