Hello, I am running blktrace against scsi disks on linux. I get the following output which i am not able to infer some of the messages in it. 2057,8440 1 8043 0.580951687 2047 A W 14666 + 1 <- (253,0) 14666 8,0 1 8044 0.580951812 2047 Q W 14666 + 1 [mkfs.ext3] 8,0 1 8045 0.580952000 2047 M W 14666 + 1 [mkfs.ext3] 2057,8440 1 8046 0.580953656 2047 A W 14667 + 1 <- (253,0) 14667 8,0 1 8047 0.580953781 2047 Q W 14667 + 1 [mkfs.ext3] 8,0 1 8048 0.580953968 2047 M W 14667 + 1 [mkfs.ext3] 2057,8440 1 8049 0.580955406 2047 A W 14668 + 1 <- (253,0) 14668 8,0 1 8050 0.580955718 2047 Q W 14668 + 1 [mkfs.ext3] For some of the lines, it shows the list of major and minor numbers (2057,8440) which are not there applicable to my system. I am not able to understand the output pertaining to these numbers and i do not find any documentation about them. Can anybody let me know what this output means? I have run blktrace as following: blktrace -d /dev/sda /dev/sdb -o - | blkparse -i - and ran mkfs.ext3 to the scsi disks. -- Srinivasa R Chamarthy (schamart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrace" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
