Comment 1 Kambiz Aghaiepour 2002-02-28 22:19:10 UTC
Oops! I meant the /usr/bin/iostat command (part of sysstat-3.3.3)


Comment 2 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2002-02-28 22:46:46 UTC
Can you try 4.0.3-1 from the build trees (you may have to rebuild it) and see if
that helps? I don't have access to such HW.

Comment 3 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2002-02-28 23:01:39 UTC
"iostat -x" with a current version verified to do what you want :)

Comment 4 Kambiz Aghaiepour 2002-03-01 04:34:53 UTC
Not exactly.  4.0.1 does run, but iostat -x only lists the first 32 disk
"thing"s where "thing" is either the whole drive, or one of its partition.  For
example:

/dev/sda
/dev/sda1
/dev/sda2
and so forth.
If there is only one partition, they are still listed, so like:
/dev/sde
/dev/sde1
/dev/sdf
and so on.

But the list stops after 32 lines.  I can however, run:

iostat -d -t -x /dev/sd[a-z] /dev/sdaa

on a box that has /dev/sda through /dev/sdaa.

The downside of this whole thing is that installing 4.0.1 breaks the cron jobs
from 3.3.3 on the 6.2 box.  A proper 6.2 errata which deals with updating the
cron jobs and such would be a desireable fix.


Comment 5 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2002-03-01 15:29:27 UTC
An errata for 6.2 is very unlikely - we typically do those for security issues
and extremely broken packages.  This isn't one of them. It works with current
releases, so the "CURRENTRELEASE" fix (with a 2.4 kernel) is correct closing.
