We are having some problems at the moment geting iostat to output data from the partitons defined to the system (e.g iostat -x /dev/dasdb). This works OK on Redhat 7.2 and the reason for this seems to be that /proc/partitions contains rather more information on RedHat than SLES7. We tried applying linux-2.4.0-sard.patch to SLES7:
--- linux/drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c.~1~ Mon Jul 17 14:53:34 2000 --- linux/drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c.~1~ Mon Jul 17 14:53:30 2000 --- linux/fs/partitions/check.c.~1~ Mon Jul 17 14:53:31 2000 --- linux/include/linux/blkdev.h.~1~ Mon Jul 17 14:53:38 2000 --- linux/include/linux/genhd.h.~1~ Mon Jul 17 14:53:28 2000 --- linux/drivers/block/genhd.c.orig Fri Sep 7 12:05:30 2001 linux/drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c.~1~ patches cleanly but the others do not. Are we going about this the wrong way, is there an alternative utility that provides the same level of detail. Any suggestions welome! John P Taylor ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
