When using vmstat, the -S option correctly affects the output. But
when using vmstat -d to examine disk activity, the -S option does not
affect the output, it is always in kilobytes.

Hello Joseph,
For the vmstat -d option the output is never in kilobytes as that
option is giving you things like number of reads and sectors. This is
why the -S option doesn't apply because there are no kilobytes to
convert.
