    disk queue or disk transfer time in linux

    Does anybody have any scripts for checking disk queue lengths or disk transfer times on a linux box? I do this with performance counters in windows. These stats are critical in measuring disk performace/ IO bottlenecks so I would be surprised if one has these.

    I found /proc/diskstats and that will at least get me the queue length but I am not good at linux scripting so I dont know a good way to get this out for consumption by zabbix.

    Alexei, any idea if this can get put into the agent?

    Another way of getting this information is the % iowait for the CPU but that isnt supported on linux 2.6 (can we get this in the agent?)
