Hi All

I installed FC9 X86_64 and can't find iostat on this distro. the
iostat command existed in RHEL4U4 for example and was stored in sysstat
package.

[root]# which iostat
/usr/bin/iostat
[root]# rpm -qf
/usr/bin/iostat
sysstat-5.0.5-11.rhel4

on FC9, this package doesn't
exist :

[root@bin]# rpm -qa | grep sysstat
[root@bin]#




I noticed in the archives, Deron Meranda had the same problem
:
Also during this time, I could see no significant system
I/O
occuring (where is the iostat command btw?). Also
vmstat showed a very
calm system.do you know why this command is not here and
which is its equivalent
?ThanksJean-Philippe

The above should only work when the sysstat package is installed.

sysstat does exist in F9 . I just yum installed it and iostat showed up.

I am intregued by the "*/" in your yum command. Is that to make yum
match the filename on it's absolute path?


The reason I ask this is many times I would like to install a certain
program, but can't remember what package provides it. So I run:


# yum whatprovides <program> (e.g. sar)

And more often or not it never matches any package, even though I know
damn well it's in the repo somewhere. I usually google to find out the
answer in the end.

Indeed. If yum see the / in the patter, it will consult the file list
metadata. Normally, yum tries to avoid using the file list metadata
because it is quite large compared to the other metadata.

Looks like it's definitely useful to know and I should now get the
results I require.


Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think I've ever seen this in yum's manpage
before. If not then why isn't it in a relevent(tips?) section?


Even though the yum manpages are good, I can't help but think manpages
as a whole on Linux are not as informative as they used to be;
especially newer commands and not to mention missing ones ... but that's
for a different thread :-#

You must the complete path to the program. iosata will not work.. You
need to use: yum whatprovides /usr/bin/iostat

The name joe* in a yum command will match any rpm whose name starts
with joe.
