Subject: sysstat-4.1.3 - System performance tools for Linux
Date: 20 May 2003 20:15:01 GMT

Hi all,

OK. This message to announce that sysstat 4.1.3 has just been released on
ibiblio's Linux archive site:
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/status/
110kB  sysstat-4.1.3.tar.gz
113kB  sysstat-4.1.3-1.src.rpm
 70kB  sysstat-4.1.3-1.i386.rpm

This is the first version of sysstat to take advantage of the sysfs filesystem,
included in recent, cutting-edge Linux kernels.
iostat should now be fully compliant with 2.5/2.6 kernels. But as a
consequence, it will no longer look for statistics in the /proc/partitions
file. Those who need to display extended statistics with iostat while still
using an older 2.4 kernel must use sysstat 4.1.2 (or sysstat 4.0.7).
With regard to sar, it has not been updated to use sysfs : I would rather wait
for 2.6 kernels to become available.

The sysstat utilities are a collection of performance monitoring tools
for Linux. These include sar, mpstat, iostat and sa tools.

To learn some more about sysstat, check out

Changes vs 4.1.2 are:
2003/05/08: Version 4.1.3
* iostat should now be fully 2.5/2.6 kernel compliant.
* Disks arrays in iostat are now dynamically sized.
* iostat: sysfs is now used in preference to /proc/stat if available.
* iostat will no longer look for statistics in /proc/partitions. sysfs
filesystem must now be available for iostat to get its extended stats (post 2.5
kernels).
* iostat: Devices for which statistics are requested can now be entered on the
command line even if option -x is not used.
* Usage messages updated.
* Manual pages updated.
* Code cleaned (dk_drive_sum removed in iostat, long lines folded, functions
split in smaller parts, etc.)
* NLS updated. Romanian translation added.
* isag upgraded to version 1.22.

Enjoy!
