[cola:09592] sysstat-5.1.4 - System performance tools for Linux

[Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

This is to announce that sysstat 5.1.4 is now available for download.
In this new release, sar is now able to display NFS statistics for a 
server or client box.
Other bugs have also been fixed here. In particular sysstat should now 
compiles  successfully again on 2.6 kernels.

Sysstat 5.1.4 is available for download from my web page at:
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/sebastien.godard/

It is also available on ibiblios Linux archive site:
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/status/

114kB sysstat-5.1.4.tar.bz2
147kB sysstat-5.1.4-1.src.rpm

The sysstat utilities are a collection of performance monitoring tools 
for Linux. These include sar, sadf, mpstat, iostat and sa tools.
Feedback always welcomed. Send your remarks and comments to:
sysstat at wanadoo.fr.

Enjoy!

Changes vs 5.1.3 are:
* NFS client and server statistics added to sar.
* sar -d now only reads stats for devices (and not partitions) from 
/proc/partitions. (This is what it was already doing with /proc/diskstats).
* Display routines from sadf merged, so that -ppc and -db always output 
the same values.
* sadf updated to handle NFS statistics.
* sadf can now display the header of a data file (option -H).
* Define MAX_BLKDEV in ioconf.h if non-existent in <linux/major.h>.
* sar now looks for sadc in one directory only, specified at compile 
time. Moreover it is now possible to have two different sysstat versions 
installed: sar knows where its sadc counterpart is located.
* sapath.in removed. SADC_PATH is defined in CONFIG file.
* sar and sadf manual pages updated.
* sysstat.ioconf file updated.
* Fixed a bug in i386 RPM package, where sadc location was not 
consistent with that of sar. Spec file updated.
* Makefile updated.
* NLS updated.
* Various cosmetic changes (code and manual pages). Code cleaned.
* FAQ and CREDITS files updated.
