      Sorry if this is wrong place to post, but I'm not sure what would be better.

      I'm using pfSense with squid's cache on a second drive, da1, and I'd like to monitor the disk i/o, but iostat doesn't exist and I'm afraid to install packages because I think it might break something else.  I've looked at using SNMP, but when I walk the mib, I don't see anything about disk i/o.

      Any suggestions?

        checkout the binary systat

        systat -vm <time in="" seconds="">systat -vm 5
        systat -io 5

        http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=systat&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.1-RELEASE&format=html

        good luck</time>

          Thanks, xibalba.

          This will be sufficient for present purposes.

          If anyone knows how to get SNMP working for disk I/O, it would be appreciated.
