in thread (OT) Get the number of blocks per second by reading the proc diskstats file
Take a look at the source for Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskStats. It includes comments like:
# ------------------------------------------------------------
+--
# The sectors are equivalent with blocks and have a size of 51
+2
# bytes since 2.4 kernels. This value is needed to calculate t
+he
# amount of disk i/o's in bytes.
# ------------------------------------------------------------
+--
blocksize => 512,
Reading the code and seeing how the module's author calculates values should be helpful.
