I really needed some disk statistics so I grabbed conky and added this...
${color grey}Disk read(sda):$diskio_read /dev/sda
${color grey}Disk write(sda):$diskio_write /dev/sda
${color grey}Disk read(sdb):$diskio_read /dev/sdb
${color grey}Disk write(sdb):$diskio_write /dev/sdb
here is what's mounted....
/dev/sda11 /
/dev/sda7 /storage
/dev/sdb7 /storageb
I was copying files on sda disk only, but conky was reporting the same diskio_reads/writes on sdb. Is that supposed to happen? if so, how do i get separate disk reports?
--EDIT--
I grabbed the source code version but I'm not too familiar with coding, but when I looked at the code it didn't look like it supported more than 1 option for monitoring. I found a better utility anyway called vmstat.
