Author relating iostat output to mount points

Friends,

I see following headings (amongst others) when I run iostat:
sd0 sd6 sd15 sd21

How do I relate these disks with the mount ponts? I am on

SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-27.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Sal

That numbering scheme comes from the BSD (SunOS) world from
before sun switched to the SYSV (Solaris) world.

Look in /etc/path_to_inst for lines that list devices
serviced by the "sd" driver. They will end up being pointed
to by /dev/dsk/c*t*d* devices. Number those lines from 0
up and you should have the sd numbers from iostat.

Also look in the prom monitor when it is down and do
probe-scsi, probe-ide and whatever other probe verbs are
implemented. What the prom monitor numbers them will be
the numbering from iostat if all of your drives are the
same type. I'm not sure this works completely if you have
several different types of driver cards.
