[This is a clone of bug #131245, so that there are separate bugs for RHEL3 and RHEL2.1] --- Opened by Tom "spot" Callaway (tcallawa) on 2004-08-30 09:30 In RHEL 2.1 & 3, rstatd is currently using /proc/stat to gather disk usage data. Since /proc/partitions is the "correct" mechanism for RHEL 2.4 kernels to be using, I've written a patch to fix this bug. This is related to http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123136 Additional Comment #2 From Robert Perkins (rperkins) on 2004-09-08 13:17 ------- Moving to sustaining engineering queue so it can go on the "mustfix" list. Rob - Can you move the following BZ to the U4/U6 lists?
