It appears that though the latest versions of rstatd have allowed disk monitoring in V2.6 kernels, they no longer work correctly for disk monitoring in V2.4 kernels.
Certainly on my Suse 9.0 system, upgraded to the stock 2.4.32 kernel, the old rstatd-3.07 works for disk monitoring (but intermittently crashes), while the new V4.0.1 release does not monitor disk activity correctly.
Would it be possible to make a version that will work for both?
Thanks
