If you wish to remain blissfully unaware of what's happening on your file
systems, feel free to delete this.

The putback of:

   6335370 RFE: Need generic file system observability (e.g., fsstat)

introduces 'fsstat':  A tool for general file system observability.

Fsstat reports file (vnode) operations activity at the mount-point level
as well as a filesystem-type level.  Different options display different
views (e.g., -n shows naming operations, -i shows I/O operations, etc.).
It also includes a display suitable for parsing (-P).

The fsstat(1M) man page will be integrated later this week.  Here's a
pointer to a preliminary copy:  http://fs.central/~rsb/fsstat.1m.text

Rants and raves to me.  Bugs against fsstat(1m) should be submitted
against utility/filesystem.  Bugs against the collection mechanism
should be submitted against kernel/fs.

Good night, all!
