Greetings,
I am analyzing output in /proc/diskstats for block devices that have a
4096B physical and logical sector size. 4KN or 4K-native disk drives.
8 33 sdc1 1289 0 10312 5893 3258606 53 1668254992 16804002 31
583987 16807101
Fields 3 and 7 are sectors read and written respectively. For operations
on a 4KN device should fields 3 and 7 be interpreted as number of 4K
sectors written (total transferred = N * 8) or is each 4K sector
operation reflected as 8 ticks to N?
I am expecting 1MB transfers to the device and using 'delta[field7] /
delta[field5]' getting 128 which would point to diskstats handling
everything in terms of 512B operations.
To multiply by 8 or not to multiply by 8, that is the question.. :-)
Thanks,
--Jeff
