VMSTAT
Virtual Memory Statistics




VMSTAT naming conventions
r = the number of kernel threads in the run queue
b = the number of blocked kernel threads that are waiting for I/O
w =

swap = available swap space in Kbytes
free = size of the free list in Kbytes

re = page reclaims
mf = minor faults
pi = kilobytes paged in
po = kilobytes paged out
fr =
de = average response time of transactions, in milliseconds







By itself, VMSTAT reports

# vmstat

iostat -c reports the percentage of time the system has spent
in user mode, system mode, waiting for I/O, and idling


# iostat -c

They should add up to 100%.






To display device error summary statistics, use iostat -e

soft errors, hard errors, transport errors, and total errors are displayed
