confirming the response from many people on this list, I use iostat -x
as well.  While the gmetric plugin library was down (is it back up?) I
created http://ben.hartshorne.net/ganglia/ which includes two
crontab-ready shell scripts to grab different bits of data from iostat
and stuff them into ganglia. (disk_gmetric.sh and disk_wait_gmetric.sh)

enjoy,
