Bug Fix Advisory - RHBA-2004:336-06
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
Updated sysstat package
An updated sysstat package that fixes a problem displaying data on disks with
high major device numbers is now available.
Description:
The sysstat package contains the iostat, mpstat, and sar utilities. These
utilities are used to gather information on system load and I/O utilization.
A deficiency in the reporting mechanism used by the Linux kernel
prevented the sysstat utilities from reporting statistics on devices with
high major device numbers. This updated package uses a different
reporting mechanism that does not suffer from this limitation.
Note that the device names in the output of iostat has changed. If
automated scripts are used to parse the output of iostat, they may need
editing.
All users of sysstat should upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
