hi,
after upgrading to 9.2-betat2 (from 9.1-stable), it seems zpool iostat n is
not giving a real picture. Running iostat gives a different picture.
My suspicion got triggerd by a very repetitive output from zpool iostat:
zpool iostat h 5
               capacity     operations    bandwidth
pool        alloc   free   read  write   read  write

the 5 sec interval seems to be more of a 'suggestion' :-)
and another thing, hitting ^T usually gives:
load: 4.18  cmd: zpool 32267 [spa_namespace_lock] 58.64r 0.00u 0.01s 0% 3080k
