I'm experimenting with a SuSE 9.2 boot CD, and I'm trying to determine
the disk i/o rate. I would normally use iostat -d for this, but
iostat is not part of the boot CD.
With the SuSE 2.6.9 kernel I can see what may be interesting numbers
in /sys/block/hdc/stat.
I think that total sectors read/written etc. since boot may be sitting
there in one of the numerous fields, but I don't know.
If is, so a could look at this file(?) 100 seconds apart, /divide the
difference in sectors by 100 and have a pretty good idea of i/o rate.
Anybody know whats in /sys/block/hdc/stat? Or know a different way to
get i/o rates?
