Hi Daniel<br><br>This is significantly different to the Solaris output. Linux gives a few extra fields, and leaves out a few that Solaris has.<br>We may need to play with this to find some common ground.<br>Alternatively, we just accept and embrace the differences, and add a few extra graphs.<br>
We then set a SUBTEST string within the case statement.<br>The loop will then be <br>for subtest in $SUBTEST<br><br>The output I used was as below.<br>Make yours look similar, and we have a winner.<br><br>The output then gets massaged a little with this set of commands (commented for clarity)<br>

I whish the maintainer of iostat would add a friendly name option, it would not be so hard to code a device-mapper -> LVM translation using "dmsetup ls" , problem is you can only run that command as root. ( guess you could add a sudo rule... )<br>

<br>
anyways, if you don't find the time to work on this, just just provide a sample output of solaris's /usr/bin/iostat -xrn and I'll post the changes needed to the list.<br>
<br>
Thank !<br>

    Vernon, since I don't run solaris here, only linux and some tru64,<br>
    the -r ( csv output ) and -n ( friendly names ) options makes it<br>
    hard to use your shell script since they either don't exists or<br>
    don't work the same. Can you perhaps provide a same output of<br>
     "iostat -xrn" and along with formated text you pass to hobbit in<br>
    your check.<br>
<br>
    I can then provide a snippet of code for linux, which would<br>
    provide the equivalent output. So you could just add a case in the<br>
