Sstat is a kernel module for Linux 2.6 aimed at providing basic SCSI I/O statistics. While better tools exist for monitoring disk activity, SCSI (or Fibre Channel) tapes have been neglected so far.

This module compiles out-of-tree and uses Kprobes to access the information needed so it can be used with "enterprise" kernels as well (where recompilation or rebooting are not acceptable).

What's New in This Release:
The code was tested under heavy load (and it survived).
It is SMP safe and has a low performance overhead.
