Hello everyone, seekwatcher uses blktrace data to create IO graphs and movies. I mainly use it to compare and tune filesystems under different workloads. The main update in v0.11 is the ability to run blktrace for multiple block devices. I'm using this for the btrfs multi-device code, but it can also help figure out what lvm/md are doing to the underling block devices. Example: seekwatcher -t dd.trace -d /dev/sda1 -d /dev/sdb1 -o dd.png \ -p 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/file bs=1M count=4000' Leads to something like this (the png below was 4 devices): http://oss.oracle.com/~mason/seekwatcher/btrfs-raid0.png It does a simple concatenation of the block numbers it finds in the blktrace output, and sorts the traces from all the devices by time.
