[Gllug] disk_io in /proc/stat

[elvis i pannkakan]

Hi peeps,

What information does the disk_io data in /proc/stat hold? There seem to
be five integers for each disk. I haven't found any documentation of it
yet (including /usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt). I'm
guessing it's showing disk reads and writes somehow, but does anyone
know the details? Are there any similarities to the good old iostat?

Here's a sample:
disk_io: (3,0):(777312,92235,1592988,685077,14547762)

Any useful information would be appreciated.

cheers
v
