Hi,
   i want to hack the ktrace system call. Basically, I want to monitor
scsi disk IO through dastrategy() routine.
    It seems that kern_ktrace.c implements different functions for
ktrace options like -tc / -ti ... etc (see man page). So, is it
possible to add new option for disk IO with new structure object
containing disk io information which will be pass to
ktr_submittrequest thr' ktr_request structure.
         Will data will be written correctly in ktrace.out and will
kdump analyze that ?




What are you trying to monitor?  Would the existing devstat interface
work?

May be he requires how many bytes transferred (read/write) while a process is executing. I guess devstat doesn't do it from process context, it gives total IO read/writes from a device,
if registred via devstat. Please correct me if I am wrong.
