The GEOM/devstat statistics has very fine granularity and can be read with very high resolution if one wants to. This means that you can see exactly how much of your disk-I/O comes from for instance your /var filesystem, and you can see how it is distributed over time down to the millisecond level. "This is one of the most significant sources we have on the subject, unfortunately we cannot decipher it, so it is utterly insignificant" -- Robert Storm Petersen This program however, is a just a small, almost minimal, proof-of-concept to show how to pick up the stats and make some amount of sense out of them. I am no great curses programmer[1], and the messes I make increase in size with the distance I move away from the hardware, so I really hope somebody will take a fancy to this gadget and turn it into the tool it should end up as.
