>Description:
The values listed by sa(8) for I/O counts are bogus. It is not
known if the values are correct as stored in the accounting file
or if the values stored by the kernel are bogus and sa(8) mis-parse
them, but the latter seem likely as time(1) typically gives correct
values.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run sa(8), look at the i/o counts for processes listed

Not known
