yes, the patch worked. The general discussion was that the byte counter
gets incremented when requests are queued, not when they're acted upon
as is the case with the count of I/Os. As a result, the disk write
numbers don't make any sense reporting impossibly high numbers (>100MB
and as high as 450!) during some times and at other reporting zeros.
The entire time, the I/O counts are happily showing what appear to be
correct numbers. Here's a snapshot taken during a portion of a 2GB file
file to /tmp.
