the system-monitor panel plugin doesn't show all harddisk activity here. my hd setup: /dev/sda and /dev/sdb in a software raid -> /dev/md0, /dev/md1 /dev/hda the monitor only shows activity on /dev/hda, which i use very rarely, an option to control the behaviour is missing Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/amd64/2005.1, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 242 Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.11 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-Os -pipe -march=opteron" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /home /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig candy cvs distlocks multilib-strict sandbox sfperms strict userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/home/blubb/gentoo/cvs/gentoo-x86 /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X aalib alsa avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr cdrom crypt cups curl dvd eds encode esd foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg lzw lzw-tiff motif mp3 mpeg ncurses network nls nptl nptlonly ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib perl png ppds quicktime readline samba sdl spell ssl svg tcpd tiff truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb userlocales utf8 vorbis xine xml xml2 xmms xpm xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
from a quick scan through the code, it looks like they loop through all the mounted filesystems and add together ( totaling ) the disk use over all your mounted filesystems: mountentries = glibtop_get_mountlist (&mountlist, FALSE); for (i = 0; i < mountlist.number; i++) { glibtop_fsusage fsusage; glibtop_get_fsusage(&fsusage, mountentries[i].mountdir); read += fsusage.read; write += fsusage.write; } where they set: guint64 read, write; Can you test this at all by generating a lot of traffic on your raided disks? Maybe glibtop_get_fsusage is not grabbing your raid and not returning the fsusage. Thanks!
the problem is the RAID: when I put load on md0 and md1 (sd(a/b)1, sd(a/b)2), i can't see anything on the graph, but when i put load on sda3, which is not in a raid, it works fine. do you know where glibtop_get_mountlist is defined? I can't find it :/
yeah, its in the gtop library, libgtop. If you look in ./docs/libgtop2.info in the source, around line 1664 it shows more than enough information about how to use the method. ( or you can use info libgtop2, but thats no fun :) ) The actual method is defined in the source at ./sysdeps/common/mountlist.c at line 566, and is very short indeed :) This *should* be easy to fix if you want to put the time in to putting some debug lines in there and seeing if its even detecting the raided drives. If not, I should get around to this in the near future. Thanks!
Hi all, Is this still an issue with current versions of libgtop/gnome-applets? If it is, please don't hesitate to reopen this bug. :) Thanks
