[Lustre-discuss] Interpreting stats files

Here's how I understand it:

First number = number of times (samples) the OST has handled a read or 
write.

Second number = the minimum read/write size

Third number = maximum read/write size

Fourth = sum of all the read/write requests in bytes, the quantity of 
data read/written.

Since this is in the exports area, it's all that per export of course.

I am working on a wiki page for sharing information on stats details 
like this which hopefully will be available soon, it's almost ready. It 
will include links to tools like lltop, xltop, and also how to roll your 
own.
