it is reading it from the Solaris kernel through a public reporting interface
kwnon as "kstat"

  http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/kstatc.html

reading kernel statistics through "/proc" is only done in Linux (as that is
the public reporting interface for it) and there is no implementation for IO
metrics as part of the core metrics even if there are several addons using
gmetric or 3.1 ganglia modules (in C or python) that has been developed to do
so.
