Linux 2.6内核版本后, 在proc文件系统中, 加入了存入磁盘IO访问数据的文件diskstats, 查看文件就可以获得某一时刻的累计访问值.
$ cat /proc/diskstats

在实际的编程中, 有两个问题要处理, 一个是如何找出磁盘, 并将分区过滤掉, 因为Linux会同步更新磁盘分区及磁盘的数据, 如果不加区分, 数据就会不准确, 这个可以通第2列及第3列加以区分, 第二列为16的倍数的表示是磁盘而非分区, 第三列是磁盘名字, 一般的系统中磁盘都是小写的sd开头的. 对于普通的scsi磁盘, 只要找出第二列是16的倍数, 并且第三列前两个字母是”sd”的, 就表示是真正的磁盘, 比如前面的数据中, 只能取第一行. 为什么是16的倍数, 估计和一块盘最多有16个分区有关吧.
磁盘中, 第四列后的都是性能数据, 各列的官方解释如下.
Field 1 ― # of reads completed
This is the total number of reads completed successfully.
Field 2 ― # of reads merged, field 6 ― # of writes merged
Reads and writes which are adjacent to each other may be merged for
efficiency. Thus two 4K reads may become one 8K read before it is
ultimately handed to the disk, and so it will be counted (and queued)
as only one I/O. This field lets you know how often this was done.
Field 3 ― # of sectors read
This is the total number of sectors read successfully.
Field 4 ― # of milliseconds spent reading
This is the total number of milliseconds spent by all reads (as
measured from __make_request() to end_that_request_last()).
Field 5 ― # of writes completed
This is the total number of writes completed successfully.
Field 7 ― # of sectors written
This is the total number of sectors written successfully.
Field 8 ― # of milliseconds spent writing
This is the total number of milliseconds spent by all writes (as
measured from __make_request() to end_that_request_last()).
Field 9 ― # of I/Os currently in progress
The only field that should go to zero. Incremented as requests are
given to appropriate struct request_queue and decremented as they finish.
Field 10 ― # of milliseconds spent doing I/Os
This field is increases so long as field 9 is nonzero.
Field 11 ― weighted # of milliseconds spent doing I/Os
This field is incremented at each I/O start, I/O completion, I/O
merge, or read of these stats by the number of I/Os in progress
(field 9) times the number of milliseconds spent doing I/O since the
last update of this field. This can provide an easy measure of both
I/O completion time and the backlog that may be accumulating.
另一个问题, 当Linux接到存贮时, 可能会有多条通路, 形成很多的虚盘, 这时不能取虚盘的性能数据, 比如连到EMC的存贮时, 第三列的名字应当为emcpower开头, 而不是sd开头了. 在Linuxmon程序中, 可以通过disk参数, 指定磁盘的前缀名字.
$ linuxmon.bin disk=emcpower

如果上面的理解有问题, 欢迎指出来, 正在学习之中, 有理解错误也是难免的.
