Question monitoring disk activity in GKrellM


Hi all -

I recently setup a udev rule to create a /dev device for my external Lacie drive called /dev/lacie

/etc/udev/rules.d/udev.conf
Code:
# permissions for Lacie External FW Drive
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{model}="Y160P0*", NAME="lacie"
Everything works fine, however, GKrellM stopped displaying drive activity for the lacie drive.

Before the udev rule, I mounted the drive as /dev/sdb1 into /mnt/lacie. In GKrellM I would simply monitor /dev/sdb and all disk activity would be displayed.

Basically gkrellm still shows sdb, but no activity.

So, I decided to edit the user-config file in ~/.gkrellm2/

I scrolled down to where the sdb entry is in the file and added lacie with the same parameters as the sdb entry.. I now see lacie in the disk krell configuration screen in gkrellm, however I still get not activity readings.

~/.gkrellm2/user-config
Code:
disk device sdb 0 0 11 0 1 -1 0
disk device sdb1 0 0 11 0 1 1 0
disk device lacie 0 0 11 0 1 -1 0
Can someone help me?

Thanks,
Scott
