seeksize.d   [plain text]

#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s
/*
 * seeksize.d - analyse disk head seek distance by process.
 *              Written using DTrace (Solaris 10 3/05).
 *
 * Disk I/O events caused by processes will in turn cause the disk heads
 * to seek. This program analyses those seeks, so that we can determine
 * if processes are causing the disks to seek in a "random" or "sequential"
 * manner.
 *
 * 20-Apr-2006, ver 1.56
 *
 * USAGE:	seeksize.d		# wait several seconds, then hit Ctrl-C
 *
 * FIELDS:
 *		PID	process ID
 *		CMD	command and argument list
 *		value	distance in disk blocks (sectors)
 *		count	number of I/O operations
 *
 * SEE ALSO: bitesize.d, iosnoop
