About four years ago, mercilessly bugged Stephen Tweedy about
the lack of % io wait counters in the ext2 file system kernel
stuff.  IIRC, he said he might put it in.

/proc/partitions and sysstat-4.0.1's iostat on 2.4.x systems
lead me to think we still can't watch/measure % io wait
under Linux.

Is there a way to get Linux to report % io wait???  

If not, would I be taken seriously if I lobbied for % io wait
counters on the kernel list?  Is there someone on this list
that might be taken seriously?

IMHO, lack of % io wait reporting is the _only_ reason why
I prefer to use Suns 'n Solaris for servers these days.
