By doing this the +"serialness" or "parallelness" of disk behaviour can be distinguished. +A high occurance of a pending value of more than 1 is an indication of +saturation. + +Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the +dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command. +.SH OS +Solaris +.SH STABILITY +stable - needs the io provider. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\-c +clear screen +.TP +\-d device +instance name to snoop (eg, dad0) +.TP +\-f filename +full pathname of file to snoop +.TP +\-m mount_point +mountpoint for filesystem to snoop +.SH EXAMPLES +.TP +Default output, print I/O summary every 1 second, +# +.B iopending +.PP +.TP +Print 10 second samples, +# +.B iopending +10 +.PP +.TP +Print 12 x 5 second samples, +# +.B iopending +5 12 +.PP +.TP +Snoop events on the root filesystem only, +# +.B iopending +\-m / +.PP +.SH FIELDS +.TP +value +number of pending events, 0 == idle +.TP +count +number of samples @ 1000 Hz +.TP +load +1 min load average +.TP +disk_r +total disk read Kb for sample +.TP +disk_w +total disk write Kb for sample +.PP +.SH IDEA +Dr Rex di Bona +.PP +.SH DOCUMENTATION +See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the +Docs directory.
