Maybe it could be an option? -w for wide maybe? =) It should scale to the number of columns and maybe have a -w or a -c columns option for output to non-ttys. >Maybe the msps could be skipped for scsi-disks? Ide can only handle 4 anyhow, >and (at least for me) those columns are always 0. ISTR making them sort of work for IDE disks, but they don't work now. Also, there are only 3 or 4 columns left for `sps' but 5 columns are often needed for modern disks (5 MB/s ~ 10000 sps). The first `sps' column runs into the `tout' column above 500 KB/s (%4d formatting with no space) and the other `sps' columns become misaligned above 5 MB/s (%4d formatting with a space). Bruce
