Nella iostat
manpage ho trovato queste due colonne simili:
await
The average time (in milliseconds) for I/O requests issued to the device to be served. This
includes the time spent by the requests in queue and the time spent servicing them.
svctm
The average service time (in milliseconds) for I/O requests that were issued to the device.
Warning! Do not trust this field any more. This field will be removed in a future sysstat
version.
Queste colonne sono pensate per rappresentare la stessa cosa? Sembra che a volte siano d'accordo, ma a volte no:

Oltre all'ovvio avvertimento che svctm
è ammortizzato, qual è la differenza tra queste due colonne ?
await
=svctm
+however_long_in_queue
, proprio come afferma il manuale!
