Hi,

to get full information you'd better look through kernel sources Smile

I doubt that all of the output numbers help you very much but I'd like to explain a little bit "dirty" and "write" numbers' meaning.

Writing to disk might be divided into two phases: writing to page and then writing to disk. "dirty" and "write" fields of /proc/bc/$VEID/ioacct output correspond to the former and to the latter phases.
So, if a "dirty" field is continuously growing and "write" field is not (or much slower that "dirty") this means that i/o scheduler doesn't allow this particular VE to write to disk.
