Load Average itself is not very informative about the reasons of overload, so I want an additional characteristic: the percent of disk read operations that are done from cache. To measure it, I probably need:
- the amount of data read from cache (or, instead, the amount of data read directly from disk);
- the total amount of read data.
Both for the certain period of time, f.e., 1 second.
Is this information available in procfs/sysfs?
