    摘要: An improved technique for storing I/O metrics includes assigning metric values to data buckets held in kernel memory. Each data bucket covers a particular range of values of a respective metric and is configured as a counter, whose count is incremented each time the multipathing driver obtains or computes a metric value that falls within the range of the data bucket. Bucket counts can be read by an external program to obtain aggregate information about I/O metrics over time. The aggregate information can be fed back to the multipathing driver to enable improved selections of paths for conveying data to and from a storage array.
