In some other unix systems, it is possible to determine thruput to a particular drive by looking at sar/iostat. You can take the number of blks/s, multiply it by the blk size (usually 512-bytes) to determine the mb/sec being done to the disk.
However, with the versions of iostat/sar delivered with red hat, the man pages state that the size of the blocks is indeterminate. Does anyone have a way to determine what the throughput to a drive may be at a given time? ------------------ Marvin Blackburn Systems Administrator Glen Raven "He's no failure.
