sda read_mb doesn't work. I must use vicious.register(iowidget,
vicious.widgets.dio, "${read_mb}", 2, "sda"). Is this normal?

You have not to rewrite it.
I already did this in the past, to display more than one partition in a widget:
http://git.sysphere.org/vicious/commit/?id=c2f7fbcf2358cf83b103954ec0dc579aea39e3cb
I advice you to use a format function as described in the README
iowidget = widget({ type = "textbox" })
vicious.register(iowidget, vicious.widgets.dio,
function (widget, args)
local text = ""
-- simply check whether the args table contains the disk/partition
if args["{sda total_s}"] =~ nil then
-- and then add it:
text = string.format("%ssda %skb/%skb ", text, args["{sda
write_kb"], args["{sda read_kb}"])
end
-- look the same way for some more disk. Alternatively use a loop.
return text -- The value returned by the function is assigned to
iowidget.
end)
I use it in a similar way here. I my own config:
