Package: dstat Version: 0.6.3-2 Severity: important Tags: patch
Dstat incorrectly adds the value from /proc/meminfo/SwapCached to the value of Cached, resulting in skews of _used and _cach when running dstat with the -m flag. In a discussion two months ago (http://lists.rpmforge.net/pipermail/tools/2007-February/000714.html) the author acknowledged that this is a problem, but no changes were ever commited to the svn repository since. Hence I am filing a bug here, so at least the Debian version of dstat can be permanently fixed. The fix is a simple one liner: =begin patch --- /usr/bin/dstat.org 2006-06-26 02:04:04.000000000 +0200 +++ /usr/bin/dstat 2007-04-08 12:48:01.000000000 +0200 @@ -974,5 +974,4 @@ if name in self.vars + ('MemTotal', 'SwapCached'): self.val[name] = long(l[1]) * 1024.0 - self.val['Cached'] = self.val['Cached'] + self.val['SwapCached'] self.val['MemUsed'] = self.val['MemTotal'] - self.val['MemFree'] - self.val['Buffers'] - self.val['Cached'] =end patch Cheers Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
