Just took a quick glance, but with iostat -d, I always use an interval. ie. iostat -d 5 That gives stats for every 5 second interval until you ^C it. Plain iostat -d gives stats since boot. Not very useful unless you have been hitting disk with the same load ever since bootup. I'm not sure if that also applies to your other invocations of iostat. Greg
