Hi,

Thanx for the reply Michael. Well, while i was waiting for this reply, I
was looking at the procps's source in "vmstat.c" and "proc/sysinfo.c".
It seems there isn't any centralized value for read/write io anymore and
a sum has to be calculated from IDE devices (type 3) and SCSI devices
(type 8) in the file. I guess umm... I'll wait for some generous soul to
release a fix for this. Hehe.. and it's really nice to know someone's
looking into this matter as well. =)

Thanx lots,

~Alex

| Hmmm, this is bad news.
|
| I will look into this as soon as my kernel 2.6 is up and running (which
| may take several weeks, because there are som mission-critical things
| not working with 2.6)
|
| Our main kernel we're developing with is still 2.4.
|
| Xavier, do you have time to take a look at this?
|
| bye, Michael
