The following is a demonstration of the hotspot.d script. Here the script is run while a large file is copied from one filesystem (cmdk0 102,0) to another (cmdk0 102,3). We can see the file mostly resided around the 9000 to 10999 Mb range on the source disk (102,0), and was copied to the 0 to 999 Mb range on the target disk (102,3). # ./hotspot.d Tracing...
