I am looking for a way to monitor throughput on a character device in linux. In particular I am trying to monitor /dev/st0, a tape device. I was hoping iostat would give me something like reads/s and writes/s for character devices, but it appears it only works for block devices. I am able to get this data for character devices in Solaris. Does anyone know how to get this information in Linux?
