Don't worry about it, it's already been done. The devstat code that is in the CAM tree will hopefully replace the dk* stuff. It dynamically adjusts to the number of devices in the system, and all devices are accessible via iostat or whatever else. (the devices are exported using a sysctl variable) Once I get done porting systat and vmstat, we may be able to look at putting the devstat stuff into -current. (iostat is already done) If you want to take a look at the CAM stuff, look at: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/cam/README or ftp://ftp.kdm.org/pub/FreeBSD/cam/README for the requirements for running it. The patches vs. current are in the same directory. The files to look at for the devstat code are: src/sys/kern/subr_devstat.c src/sys/sys/devicestat.h src/usr.sbin/iostat/* Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@plutotech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
