If you want to know the activity over 5 second intervals, use something like "zpool iostat -v 5" (repeat every 5 seconds) and wait for the second and later blocks. The second and later blocks are average from previous output until "now". I generally use 5 second intervals to match the 5 second commit interval on my pools. Tim
