It seems to be working fine for me.  I'm running SLES8, kernel version
2.4.19-4suse-SMP.

Here's /proc/stat:

disk_io: (94,0):(222739,188355,3626408,34384,846536)

And a snippet from sar -b:

sysaatm2:/proc # sar -b|more
Linux 2.4.19-4suse-SMP (sysaatm2)       07/18/03

00:00:01          tps      rtps      wtps   bread/s   bwrtn/s
00:10:00         1.17      0.54      0.64     12.88     12.72
00:20:00         3.69      3.04      0.65     62.22     13.96
00:30:00         0.29      0.00      0.29      0.00      4.64

I'll check to see if SuSE has applied their own patches to the kernel source
to get it to work or if it's simply a kernel compile option.  Will update
shortly...
