pt-diskstats errors

[Vadim Tkachenko]

I am using following command.
bash pt-diskstats -d fioa

in output I get:

grep: /tmp/diskstats-samples: No such file or directory

first two lines are kind of unexpected output
and there is also no header for statistics.

If you can still reproduce this, what system are you using? It works for me. I think this might depend on your version of bash or something like that.

I do not have this error now

[Brian Fraser (fraserbn)]

As of 2.0.3, pt-diskstats has been rewritten in Perl, so this is no longer an issue.

[Daniel Nichter (daniel-nichter)]

Brian says this was a Bash error which is no longer applicable to the new tool written in Perl. Therefore, changing to Invalid.
