7.10 UX File Access System

The UX File Access System object provides counters for monitoring file system activity on AIX systems.

These counters do not accept individual instances, all counters use the _Total instance. For example, to monitor the number of write operations per second to raw character devices, type one of the following:

UX File Access System|Pwrite/s|_Total
UX File Access System|Pwrite/s

The following table describes the counters for the UX File Access System object.
