[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#319684: xfce4-diskperf-plugin: X4DP runs but never sees any traffic on busy disk

[A Costa]

Package: xfce4-diskperf-plugin
Version: 1.5-3
Severity: normal


I have 'Disk Performance' running, (it shows up on the panel), and configured
for my default drive '/dev/hda3':

    % { mount ; df ; } | grep hda3
    /dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
    /dev/hda3              7901858   6386003   1106198  86% /

...but it never shows any action.  When I move the mouse above it, an informative
looking tooltip pops up, but it always says 0 for I/O, and -1 for busy time.

Other 'xfce4' applets like 'System Load' work fine.

If it's useful, attached is the output of 'cat /proc/diskstats'.


Hope this helps...
