Topic

An updated dstat package that adds one enhancement is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The dstat package provides a replacement for the vmstat, iostat, and netstat
tools. The dstat tool can be used for performance tuning tests, benchmarks, and
troubleshooting.

This update adds the following enhancement:

  • The dstat utility has been enhanced to support the use of symbolic links as

its parameters. This allows users to dynamically specify the boot device name,
which ensures that dstat displays correct information after hot plugs and
similar operations. (BZ#766443)

Users of dstat are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which adds this
enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant
