the description of iostat says:
iostat Display statistics about disk throughput. Statistics on disk
throughput show, for each drive, data transferred in bytes,
number of disk transactions performed, and time spent in disk
accesses (in fractions of a second).
so i'm going to hazard a guess that it's (r/w) transactions per second.
