I made the mistake of looking at disk IO numbers in two different ways
now I'm confused, because they give inconsistent answers.
First way was using 'vmstat 10'. This gave me (apologies for wrapped lines):
BTW, did you try:
- monitor command
- Zabbix -- well, It may require upgrade of PHP and whatnot.
No, I haven't. I view my problem as being TOO MANY different sources to begin with :-).
Sounds like zabbix is out -- no PHP or Web server on the system involved, and I can't install one (in-service production box).
I've never heard of a "monitor" command for unix, and there isn't one on this Centos installation. I'm open to persuasion here. And I haven't looked into whether this info is directly accessible in the proc filesystem or something yet either.
