OK that's encouraging.
Mark, would you like to send me a potted collection of sample iostat
output that you apparently already have (I'd only need the first couple
of samples for each) and I'll start thinking about notsopsychic2pcp ...
It would also help if we could consider if there are some options to
iostat that:
(a) must be there for this to make sense, e.g. -t seems important,
although even without -t I could punt on the sample interval being the
default and choose 01-Jan-2000 00:00:00 as the arbitrary start
datetime) ... if this punt is acceptable (or someone can suggest a
better one), then may be there are no "must be there" options.
(b) should _not_ be there (or rather iostat2pcp will ignore this data if
it is there)
