What does r b w column exactly means in vmstat output.
Does r means number of threads which are waiting for CPU or number of threads currently running .
Also what does b and w column means.
When i run vmstat on our system we get values in r column as more than 20 , 30 sometimes . Is this an issue . Does it mean 20 , 30 threads are waiting for CPU and do we need to increase CPU in that scenario.
Also if someone can point to any documentation which explain this in detail .
This is what i got for vmstat in solaris --------------
your man page is probably correct as I have an old version of Solaris. – PaulB – 2019-11-19T16:57:29.350
