The vmstat5 graph (created by default, but not displayed by default, view the 
vmstat graph and then change service=vmstat to service=vmstat5 in the URL to 
see it) will show you block IO (total). You can set this graph to be shown by 
default in the trends page (I can't check exactly how right now).

However, if you need per-block-device stats, you will need something that uses 
iostat data.
