#1 Re: Interpreting vmstat's wait stats on linux 2.6 Posted by Anonymous (66.190.xx.xx) on Wed 14 Feb 2007 at 05:26 Start top, hit 'f' (add field), 'y' (WCHAN: "sleeping in function") I'm not sure exactly what the names refer to these days; when I first discovered this, it was always what *kernel* function the process was blocking in. This is per-process, and I'm not exactly sure how it reflects into the cpu stats, because a process that is "waiting" is not eligible to be active on the cpu. Hopefully, this is helpful. If you do figure out what it means, please post the info.
