I wish I can hide :) Got dragged into couple of big data warehouse projects doing everything from data architect, DBA to development. It's still hard for me to find the time to get into the little nice details of Oracle. Honestly did not know about the Rosetta stone. Thanks for the hint.

Welcome back! Long time no see! Where have you been hiding? Have you tried with sar -d? sar -d is even more comprehensive then iostat. As for jAIX, you know about the Rosetta stone, don't you?
