Good question.  Lousy answer:

There's the linux version of iostat - take two aspirin and read the manual
page first.  Something like 'iostat -d 2' may meet your need.

It's part of the sysstat package, which also includes a couple of crontab
entries that start polling performance info and saving it into /var/log/sa.
You can view the data with /usr/bin/isag (set your DISPLAY variable first).

Try rpm -ql sysstat and then poke around.  Hopefully others will provide
more helpful answers, because these two tools leave a lot to be desired.

-t.
