This helps us understand the +system's usage of a disk, it does not imply that the existance or not +of a hotspot is good or bad (often may be good, less seeking). + +Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the +dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command. +.SH OS +Solaris +.SH STABILITY +stable - needs the io provider. +.SH EXAMPLES +.TP +Sample until Ctrl\-C is hit then print report, +# +.B hotspot.d +.PP +.SH FIELDS +.TP +Disk +disk instance name +.TP +Major +driver major number +.TP +Minor +driver minor number +.TP +value +location of disk event, megabytes +.TP +count +number of events +.PP +.SH DOCUMENTATION +See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the +Docs directory.
