What is 'squ'? We want to be able to calculate min/max/avg/variance later on, for periods of time that are multiples of the interval monitoring data is written for. > > > sizes histogram (in kB): > > 0 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 > > 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096 8192 16384 > > 0 0 0 64 17 144 71 117 > > 97 42 3 0 0 0 0 0 > > These outputs are a bit hard to read - are they wrapped (from very, very > long lines), or is this how they are displayed?

I can do that.
