The code for this project is split into kernel side, fiostats, and userspace,
fior.  Both the module and the commands have been tested on RHEL3 Updates 6 
and 8 and RHEL4 Update 4. 


fiostats
--------
fiostats directory contains the source code for the kernel module that
collects I/O statistics by process and its supporting scripts.

After installing software, run 
	/etc/rc.d/init.d/fiostats start
to start data collection. 

I/O data by default is written to /var/log/io-stats. You can tail this file
or use the fior command. A cron job runs every 10 minutes to request a dump 
of file I/O for persistent processes and then at midnight a command is run to 
reset counters. Adjust the sample rate as needed.


fior
----
fior is the userspace rpm for analyzing the raw data.

There alternative commands in the alt-cmds directory. See the README in that
directory.
