[Orca-dev] Beta orcallator 1.27 and 1.28

[Blair Zajac]

Hello,

I've got two new versions of orcallator.se that I'd like people to test
out before they are made official.  Orcallator.se 1.26 was never
released.

The first, orcallator.se 1.27, has only minor changes from 1.25 to
print the wio% and idle% explicitly and to potentially better handle
cases when a web server access log is missing.  This mainly checks the
return code from stat() and uses fstat() when it can.

The second, orcallator.se 1.28, includes the modifications in 1.27 and
allows orcallator.se to measure disk activity on Sun's A1000 and
Clariion disk systems.  It also may measure disk activity on other
filesystems that people have requested.  This is the sort of information
I'm looking for, as I don't have access to anything beyond a normal Sun
filesystem.  This filesystem work was done by Alan LeGrand
<alegrand at wallace.com>.                         

I'd like some volunteers to try either one of these and let me know if
they work.  For 1.27, I just want to make sure that orcallator correctly
handles a rotation of the access log.  For 1.28, check that the disk
statistics work.

Feel free to diff these versions with previous versions to see the
modifications.

You may need to apply the following patch to diskinfo.se to get 1.28
to work.  Let me know what you find.
