blstat now reads all the data from proc for a more accurate view of what's being throttled. Also made some formatting changes, added a new --help option, and the ability to start blstat with the screen of your choosing by passing the following arguments at the command line.

blstat command line options:

 

--help | -h                   show this usage statement

-i                               start on i/o screen (default)

-c                              start on CPU screen

-b                              start on network bandwidth screen


Kernel version:

Latest CentOS Kernel 2.6.32-358.18.1.el6

cpud:

Bug fixes, performance improvements, and added an error message that tells the user cpu throttling is not supported on 2 core systems.

Bandwidth Limiting:

No changes.

iothrottled:

Bug Fixes and a new logging feature set to ON by default called log_io_intensive_task. This will log any intensive i/o task that's not part of the BetterLinux i/o throttling rules. Now admins will find it easier to see what else may need to be added to a throttling rule. The log data can be found in /var/log/iothrottled/iothrottled.

Fri Sep  6 11:34:48 2013 INFO: I/O-intensive task 16931 (fio) uid 0 - I/O wait time 89.42%
