While disk throughput for dd if=/dev/hdc of=/dev=null bs=4096 count=1000000 produces about 57MB/S (up ~14% over 2.6.17 btw), vmstat (procps version 3.2.5) is only showing about 7MB/S. Looking at the numbers in /proc/vmstat, it looks kinda like pgpgin might be pages instead of the KB it used to be, with some added >>=1 action on the side. At any rate, the numbers below are horse-pookey ;-) procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 1 1 3820 9400 810128 46052 0 0 7040 0 1163 1283 2 7 48 44 1 1 3820 9220 810288 46156 0 0 7040 0 1151 1335 3 6 48 45 1 1 3820 9280 810176 46204 0 0 7168 0 1156 1207 1 7 48 44 2 1 3820 9408 810048 46068 0 0 7168 0 1160 1192 1 6 49 46 -Mike
