Gstat-rs

Replacement for gstat(8)

Replacement for gstat8

This is a gstat replacement, written in Rust. It is more featureful than the original, and works much better on systems with large numbers of disks. The key differences are

  • gstat-rs supports sorting the disks using the ‘+’, ‘-‘, and ‘r’ keys, and the “–sort” and “-r” command line options.
  • gstat-rs can enable/disable columns at any time using the insert and delete keys. gstat can only do that at startup, and only for certain infrequently used columns.
  • If the screen has enough space, gstat-rs will display multiple disks side by side.
  • gstat-rs can pause the display without exiting the program.
  • gstat-rs’s settings are automatically persisted to a config file.
  • gstat-rs does not support batch mode -bBC output. If you want that kind of information, use iostat8 instead.
  • gstat-rs does not display GEOM consumers -c, but it can easily be added if there’s any demand for that feature.
