I am no expert in sar nor iostat but I came up with this theory in about 2 seconds: [aphro@redhat:~]$ ls -l /dev/sda brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Apr 11 2002 /dev/sda see major number 8, minor 0 so perhaps dev8-0 = /dev/sda ? to me, it makes sense, but that doesn't mean I'm right..just a theory. nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
