The first time through the code sample_time is set to 0.0 on line 588.
Eventually we call display_iostats() and check if sample_time == 0. It
does, so we set sample_time equal to the mount age on line 368. I'm
seeing instances where the age of a mount is 0.

cat /proc/self/mountstats | egrep "device|age"
device fashome-n1:/vol/home/fahome mounted on /home/fahome with fstype
nfs statvers=1.0
age: 0

All of our storage is automounted, so volumes are frequently getting
unmounted and remounted.

Makes sense. When I wrote the script, I wasn't using automounter at all.
It might be simpler to have one check for a zero age at 368.


My only concern with checking and just returning (which is certainly easier and a smaller change) is that we end up not printing anything for a volume that is technically mounted. I figured it was better to print the volume info and all zeroes than to not print anything.

I'll defer to your opinion on which of those two is best.

I haven't looked at this code in a very long time. Why was sample_time
zero? That seems wrong.

This was causing ZeroDivisionError's:
