Package: procps Version: 1:3.2.7-11 Severity: normal When I run the "vmstat" command on a machine running Linux 2.6.26, it doesn't properly recognize my disk partitions.
Specifically, when I run "vmstat -d" it includes the partitions in the output, and when I run "vmstat -p" it can't find the partition: $ vmstat -d | grep hdc hdc 12159 2474 472866 32376 1602 247 74288 476756 0 54 hdc1 12139 2457 472570 32320 1602 247 74288 476756 0 54 $ vmstat -p hdc1 Partition was not found This seems to be caused by the fact that format of the partition lines in the /proc/diskstats file has changed (as of Linux 2.6.25, according to the Documentation/iostats.txt file from 2.6.26). I found a Red Hat bug that covers this issue (and includes a patch): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485243 Thanks.
