Package: dstat
Version: 0.5.10-1
Severity: normal

 dstat shouldn't include I/O to md software RAID devices in the total disk
I/O, because such I/O also shows up for sda and sdb, etc.

 This happens on i386 machines, not just AMD64, BTW.

e.g.
----total-cpu-usage---- --disk/hda----disk/sda----disk/md6---disk/total>
usr sys idl wai hiq siq|_read write _read write _read write _read write>
....
 84  13   0   0   2   1|  24k 36.4M: 410B 34.9M:   0  34.9M:48.8k  108M>
....                           ^^          ^^          ^^           ^^^

that's while writing a big file to /home, which is mounted on /dev/md6,
which is a RAID1 of partitions on hda and sda.

 My suggestion:  simply omit md devices from the totals.  Hopefully the code
doesn't need to change too much to still be able to display them (e.g.
dstat -D md3,total 10) even though they're not in the total.
