Rather than simply reading /proc/diskstats and working with what's there, you would like to specify a list of "interesting" device paths, for example the path to an LVM volume. The plugin should then look up the major and minor number of that device (may be a symbolic link to a device file, too) and look for the correct line in /proc/diskstats using that information. Did I get that correctly? Regards, —octo -- Florian octo Forster Hacker in training GnuPG: 0x91523C3D http://verplant.org/
