That's a lot more than five devices. I hate to throw RTFM at you, but from "man sar": When data is displayed, the device specification dev m-n is generally used ( DEV column). m is the major number of the device, whereas n is a distinctive number. So, the dev identifiers you're seeing are definitely the major/minor numbers of the disk devices. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
