Maybe, but DTrace seems to solve one really pressing problem: tracking disk I/O to the processes causing it. Unexplained high I/O utilization is a *very* common problem, and there aren't any tools to diagnose it. Most other system resources can be tracked quite easily: disk space, CPU time, committed address space, even network I/O (with tcpdump and netstat -p). But there's no such thing for disk I/O. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
