Hello,

I'd like to know what is the real disk utilisation by the command "iostat"

My drbd config :

resource ssd {
   protocol C;

   startup {
     wfc-timeout 0;
   }

   disk {
     on-io-error detach;
   }

   syncer {
     rate 2000M;
     verify-alg md5;
   }

   on surtax {
     device    /dev/drbd1;
     disk      /dev/sdb;
     address   10.1.42.11:7789;
     meta-disk internal;
   }

   on relax {
     device    /dev/drbd1;
     disk      /dev/sdb;
     address   10.1.42.12:7789;
     meta-disk internal;
   }
}

When I launc Iostat with the physical Raid Disk sdb i have this :

root at relax:~# iostat -x 1 /dev/sdb
Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (relax)     04/30/2012     _x86_64_    (16 CPU)

            0.00    0.00    0.86    0.02    0.00   99.12

65.29     0.98    0.43   0.22  50.80


But when I launch de command with de drbd disk :

root at relax:~# iostat -x 1 /dev/drbd1
Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (relax)     04/30/2012     _x86_64_    (16 CPU)

25.56     1.26    1.61   0.75  99.99

avg-cpu:  %user   %nice %system %iowait  %steal   %idle
            0.00    0.00    2.82    0.00    0.00   97.18

Device:         rrqm/s   wrqm/s     r/s     w/s   rsec/s   wsec/s 
avgrq-sz avgqu-sz   await  svctm  %util
drbd1             0.00     0.00 7533.00  191.00 254904.00  5910.00    
33.77     7.49    0.82   0.13 100.00


I don't know if my drive is 100% full or no ?

Thank's for your answer
