iostat详解（iostat详解） Iostat explain Oh, ask them what else they have, and come back without a problem Iostat output resolution 1. /proc/partitions For kernel 2.4, the main source of data for iostat is /proc/partitions, while for kernel 2.6, data comes mainly from /proc/diskstats or /sys/block/[block-device-name]/stat. Lets see whats in the /proc/partitions first. # cat /proc/partitions Major, minor, #blocks, name, Rio, rsect, ruse, rmerge, WIO, wmerge, wsect,, wuse, running, use, aveq 3019535040, HDA, 1252431127344371, 3443601294125534, 3084341097290-11580072028214662 317172991 hda1 13711681400000 0140140 321 hda2000 355116671 hda5 10047766562011230 0610650 HDA6, 5189246162770257, 3375290561438800, 46520146650 376980211, hda7, 1188930475338890, 3407401268322158, 279376953380050935, 1294120 Major: main device number. 3 stands for hda. Minor: device number. 7 represents the No.7 partition. The total number of #blocks: equipment (1024 bytes/block).1024 = 20003880960 (bytes) ~2G Name: device name. Such as hda7. Rio: total number of read I/O devices completed. The number of read operations initiated and completed by the I/O device, That is, the read requests placed in the I/O queue. Note that many processes start reading operations (read ()) is likely to do merge with other operations, not necessarily every read () call Both cause a I/O request. Rmerge: carried out the number of merge read operations. Total number of rsect: read sectors (512 bytes/sector) Ruse: accumulates time (read milliseconds) from the read through queue to the read operation. The above example shows boot from At first, the read hda7 operation shared about 340 seconds. Total number of write I/O devices completed by wio. Wmerge: performs the number of write operations on the merge. Total number of sectors written by wsect: Wuse: accumulates (milliseconds) from the time it takes to go through the write queue to the write operation Running: has entered the I/O request queue,
