  • I couldn't find any docs explaining the contents of /sys/block//stat,
    so I wrote up the following. I'm not completely sure it's accurate - Jens,
    could you give a yea or nay on this?

    In particular, the counts of read/write IOs and read/write sectors are
    incremented in different places - it looks like they both increment as the
    request is being finished, but I'm not completely sure of that.
