You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Each one second, my program reads /sys/block/$DEVICE/stat.
It substracts previously saved values, then saves current values, so I know the
hdd activity.
But sometimes (once in 7 days) I've got too big values for sda (between last
and current ones) (for example 5GB/second, 19GB/second, etc...).
sudo lshw -class disk
*-disk
description: ATA Disk
product: SPCC Solid State
physical id: 0.0.0
bus info: scsi@2:0.0.0
logical name: /dev/sda
version: 08.2
serial: EB84075517B200427436
size: 111GiB (120GB)
capabilities: partitioned partitioned:dos
configuration: ansiversion=5 logicalsectorsize=512 sectorsize=512
signature=d01f3b8e
Also I've written the script for monitoring the statistics
#!/bin/bash
while (true) do
str=`date`" $(cat /sys/block/sda/stat)"
echo $str >> log.txt
sleep 10;
done
And got this values

You can see that the difference (3,4 lines) is very big between
706209560 and 661425152, my ssd can read 250 Mb/sec, but not 5 Gb/sec.
Also you can use this program for monitoring (g++ -std=c++14 name.cpp)
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <regex>
#include <tuple>
#include <chrono>
#include <thread>
#include <cstdint>
const int HDD_READ_POS = 2;
const int HDD_WRITE_POS = 6;
const int UNIX_SECTOR_SIZE = 512;
uint64_t prevRead = static_cast<uint64_t>(0);
uint64_t prevWrite = static_cast<uint64_t>(0);
std::tuple<uint64_t, uint64_t> hddStatus(const std::string &name="sda")
{
std::ifstream in("/sys/block/"+name+"/stat");
auto readVal_ = static_cast<uint64_t>(0);
auto writeVal_= static_cast<uint64_t>(0);
if ( ! in.is_open() ) {
return std::tuple<uint64_t, uint64_t> (readVal_, writeVal_);
}
std::string line;
std::regex rgx ( "\\d+" );
std::regex_token_iterator<std::string::iterator> end;
while (std::getline(in, line) ){
std::regex_token_iterator<std::string::iterator> iter( line.begin(),
line.end(), rgx, 0 );
int pos_ = 0 ;
while ( iter != end ) {

readVal_ = std::stoul( *iter ) ;
}
if ( pos_ == HDD_WRITE_POS){
writeVal_ = std::stoul( *iter ) ;
}
++iter;
++pos_;
}
}
return std::tuple<uint64_t, uint64_t> (readVal_, writeVal_);
}
