[Pkg-xfce-devel] Re: xfce4-diskperf-plugin does not work on Debian Etch

[Simon Huggins]

This isn't really relevant for -release.  You should drop the CC there
if you reply.

pkg-xfce-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org is a better address.

Are you running a kernel with CONFIG_BLK_STATS turned on?
Do you have /proc/diskstats?  Does it have sane data?

I don't know though and you should probably file a bug as per:
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting
so we can track it and keep you updated.
