iostat -x -d can display many i/o statistic info. For util of iostat, the explanation is : Percentage of CPU time during which I/O requests were issued to the device (band-width utilization for the device). Device saturation occurs when this value is close to 100% I want to know how the util was computed? I make an experiment, (see following code), start 40 thread to randomly read 40 files. I suppose the disk util should be very high, but I am wrong, the iostat is as follow, anyone can give why?
