It took me a while but I found them hidden here: http://www.zabbix.com/manual/v1.1/co..._supported.php

thanks for that last link. these pages really should be linked more.
anyway, i can't get it to work.
i've tried a parameter :
vfs.dev.read[/dev/sda,bytes,avg1]

i have also tried bps instead of bytes, and mount path or device name without the leading /dev/ - in all cases i get back not supported status message without futher explanations. log level 4 on agent did not reveal any additional information, too.

is the syntax incorrect ? if so, documentation heavily needs examples...
maybe there are particular permission/system configuration expectancies ? if so, there probably could be more informative error message.

anybody has this parameter working ?
