Wim, I had not looked at /proc/diskstats before, but it returns the total
number of reads, writes, etc, since system boot, so I would have to do some
coding and remember previous values to get what we get from iostat. At this
point I have things working ok so I don't feel the need to write another
script.
No you wouldn't.  Just use a COUNTER instead of a GAUGE and RRD will
automatically track the previous value and show the difference.
