Doesn't look like much difference. I just ran 'iostat -x 3' and 'iostat -k3' over the same time period, starting at the same time (within about 1/4 second of each other), and there's very little difference in output (something like 1/3rd of one percent, and only in the write kb/sec). I doubt there's much performance difference either--I didn't see anything noticeable. -- Jesse Becker GPG Fingerprint -- BD00 7AA4 4483 AFCC 82D0 2720 0083 0931 9A2B 06A2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
