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.
