Conky: ${diskiograph_read} and ${diskio_read} can't read from sda1

Post by Koentje »

For some reason my conky can't read diskio from sda1??
${diskiograph_read sda1} and ${diskio_read sda1} does not work, only from sda.
Other disks no problem, this happens only with with sda1 and only with reading...

You must pass the complete path: ${diskio_read /dev/sda1}

and if you have changing HDDs/SSDs, it makes sense to use the UUID: ${diskiograph /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx}

That is not a must. All my disk conky's work with only sdb1, sdb2 or sdc3... only the reading part of sda1doesn't work. It only works for sda. I find that strange, seems like a bug.

That only works for later versions of conky. That is standard in Mint 21, but i'm still on Mint 20.
