Yes, libdevstat have data, but iostat display transfer = read+write+other.
But i want to see something like following:
totalreads = current->num_reads - ((previous) ?
previous->num_reads : 0);
totalwrites = current->num_writes - ((previous) ?
previous->num_writes : 0);
totalother = current->num_other - ((previous) ?
previous->num_other : 0);
