Question iostats
I am using digital unix 4.0D. I did iostat on a device rz9 and it appears to give me stats for each partition on the drive. (label).
Is this normal?

altho i am not familure with dig unix.

the logic seems fair.

i am sure there is a switch for the iostat command to do what you want. or even a command to do exactly what you want.

but you havent said what you want to do yet so......

this is from solaris
Code:
Maintenance Commands                                   iostat(1M)

NAME
     iostat - report I/O statistics

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/iostat [ -cCdDeEImMnpPrstxz ]  [ -l n ]  [ -T u | d
     ]  [ disk ... ]  [  interval  [ count ]  ]

DESCRIPTION
     The iostat utility iteratively reports terminal,  disk,  and
     tape  I/O  activity,  as  well as CPU utilization. The first
     line of output is for all time since boot;  each  subsequent
     line is for the prior interval only.

According to Tru64 man page (later version 5.1) you should see the drives:

The second example specifies device names in the command:

# iostat dsk2 dsk3 cdrom2
tty dsk2 cdrom2 dsk3 cpu
tin tout bps tps bps tps bps tps us ni sy id
0 13 11 5 5 2 2427 1213 0 1 1 98
