Yep, that's what I meant. If anyone is planning on adding features to
iostat, Solaris has some nice features to copy:
-x rotates the output so each drive gets its own line, with the
following info:
r/s w/s kr/s kw/s wait actv svc_t %w %b
So "iostat -x n 23 2" prints a full-screen display of the first 23
drives in your system, updated every 2 seconds.
