I've now started to look at diskstat. This one is a little strange
because it requires /sys to be mounted as well to work properly,
basically to work out if the line is for a disk or a partition.
The data for both a disk and a partition are identical, I'm actually
thinking of putting the lot into the one array (it doesn't make sense
to stop vmstat working with vmstat -p sda for example).
I've got them in two, but it doesn't seem to buy you anything except
extra complexity. A flag on the row will probably do everything
that is needed now anyhow.
