A long run can result in wrapping in the disk stats
(ios, merge, ticks, in_queue).
In this example, there were 212,245,615,134 read IOs
(that is from uint64_t total_io_u[3]):
read : io=101207GB, bw=491309KB/s, iops=982618, runt=216000016msec
cpu : usr=0.09%, sys=4.33%, ctx=152784302066, majf=0, minf=2928
IO depths : 1=0.0%, 2=0.0%, 4=0.0%, 8=0.5%, 16=0.5%, 32=1.0%, >=64=1.0%
submit : 0=0.0%, 4=18.0%, 8=6.6%, 16=8.5%, 32=0.0%, 64=0.0%, >=64=0.0%
complete : 0=0.0%, 4=0.0%, 8=0.0%, 16=15.0%, 32=0.1%, 64=0.1%, >=64=0.1%
issued : total=r=212245615134/w=0/d=0, short=r=0/w=0/d=0, drop=r=0/w=0/d=0
latency : target=0, window=0, percentile=100.00%, depth=96
Run status group 0 (all jobs):
READ: io=101207GB, aggrb=491309KB/s, minb=491309KB/s, maxb=491309KB/s, mint=216000016msec, maxt=216000016msec
All the disk stats, however, wrap at ios=4,294,967,295 (32 bit).
In this case it caught sdi falling a bit behind the others,
but all of them have wrapped multiple times.
Disk stats (read/write):
