sar -D output-I would like a suitable command to run alongside stress -hdd but this is the output which sar -D 1 10 gives. I have filtered it using both awk |'NR > 1 {printf "%4s%8s%8s\n",$13,$14,$15}' and awk 'NR > 1 {OFS="\t"; print $13,$14,$15}' but the output is messy like the first instance below. How can I get it filtered to be more like the second output which i got at the ibm site?

I asked on stackoverflow and was advised to ask here instead. I want to run this command simultaneous to a stress command. If this command is not correct, does anyone know a disk stats command that can be used? I am looking for one that can be timed the same way vmstat/iostat can.
