>Description:
I/O on SCSI devices that are performed directly with the ioctl()
that executes SCSI commands are not counted in the disk statistics.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run a program that does direct I/O (I have a program that reads audio
CDs) and check iostat.
>Fix:
Well, I guess some disk_busy(), disk_unbusy() calls need to be inserted,
but I'm not sure where.
