I see that 2 pathes of one disk have await more than 10, so I want to recieve information about DISK5 (but only once, because if I have 20 disks with 16 paths each, and 10 disks have await much then 10 in all pathes, then I want to recieve 10 rows instead of 160).
Oops I understand now that you only want one line for dm-1. Then just feed the name of dm-1 into awk. When awk finds a line with await>10, it will print "dm-1" and stop processing.
It looks like you're on the way to success, great!
I had not taken the successive blanks into account, which cut considers separate fields. While you could have used sed to compress sequences of blanks into a single blank, the awk solution looks more natural to me. Good job!
