As I can see the changes in these values are use by percona cacti
monitoring templates to graph "InnoDB I/O".
Can anyone answer the question finally? ;)

Hi All.

I've searched but with no luck... what do exactly these variables mean:

1343928 OS file reads, 1085452262 OS file writes, 19976022 OS fsyncs

?

these are the total number of reads/writes/fsyncs (number of system
calls actually?) since the server started (or maybe last FLUSH call?)
and not very meaningful by themselves without knowing the time span
it took to come up to those counter values.

The per second values on the following line are much more interesting.


I don't understand how Hartmut's answer was insufficient. The InnoDB engine must get data from the disk (reads), send data to the disk (writes), and occasionally tell the operating system that it must flush its buffers to disk to ensure durability (fsync).

Why are you so interested in these numbers?
