They should probably upgrade their tools, be they from the distro or their own (It was my understanding that /proc/stat was depricated and going to be removed in the not-to-distant future).mike.miller@xxxxxx wrote:
Currently cciss statistics are not collected in /proc/stat.
This patch
bumps DK_MAX_MAJOR to 111 to fix that. This has been a
common complaint
by customers wishing to gather info about cciss devices.
Please consider this for inclusion. Applies to 2.4.28-pre3.
Thanks,

The answer to this is to use the latest sysstat tools. the latest version of iostat, sar, etc draw information out of /proc/partitions rather than out of /proc/stat. Or are you using some other home rolled tool in this case?

It's customers that are doing this. I think some of them are using their own tools. Others are probably using whatever comes on their distro.
