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!
