Dag, it appears the version of dstat I see in RHEL 5 repos as of 10 Aug 2011 is 0.6.6 from Nov 2009. The backport level is 3.el5_4.1. I have updated to the latest RHEL packages for 5.7 and do not see the topio or topbio listed when I do the list command (which strangely in this version is 'dstat -M list', implying the list is a module?). Do you know if RH simply moved back to another version before your post here (as you don't specify a version)? Do you have any influence on which version is in RHEL 5? I am sort of stuck by config management rules to certain packages, mainly those provided by RH repos, and I really want the topio and topbio modules - they would solve so many arguments.
topio and topbio not in RHEL 5.7
