Package: sysstat Version: 11.6.0-1 Severity: wishlist Below is part of the output of "iostat -m" on one of my system. For reporting io speeds (the documented purpose of the -m option) megabytes per second is sufficient for today's hardware. But for reporting the overall transfer volumes gigabytes is needed for human readable results on busy systems.
