Subject: minor doc correction: Documentation/iostats.txt: bit-size reference
Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2011 14:41:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D83D188.3000909@tlinx.org> (raw)



Documentation/iostats.txt describes fields in /proc/diskstats as
32-bit unsigned values that can wrap.

On a 64-bit system, it appears they are 64-bit unsigned values.

Should 'iostats.txt' describe fields as "unsigned, native-word-sized 
values" or is my 64-bit system not behaving according to "spec"? ;-)
