blksread
Blksread is a performance metric used in the context of file systems and storage devices, particularly in Unix-like operating systems. It represents the number of blocks read from a storage device by a process or system. A block is a fixed-size unit of data, typically 512 bytes or 4 kilobytes, depending on the file system and storage device.
The blksread metric is often used to monitor and analyze the I/O (input/output) performance of a system.
Blksread is typically measured using system monitoring tools such as iostat, vmstat, or sar. These tools provide
