As I have told - it is a bug/feature of libdevstat. It should not be
difficult to fix, if it is really a bug.
That was intentional, if I can remember what I intended in 1997/1998.
The reason was that since there is one passthrough device created for every
device that CAM manages, you don't want to show pass(4) devices when the
user says 'iostat -t scsi'. Otherwise he might get all pass(4) devices,
depending on the order of devices in the system.
But, if it's pass(4) devices you want, you can ask for them specifically,
or for all SCSI/IDE pass(4) devices, as mav did above.
But it is impossible to get, for example, all SCSI devices including
pass. Either only non-pass, or pass only.
It is strange that if I won't specify "-t" (most probable for
inexperienced users), I'll gel all devices including pass, but if
specify "-t scsi" (as more advanced user who knows what to ask), I'll
get only non-pass. It is at least inconsistent.
