<number of page compute by cache_size/page-size> page of <page-size> <sector_size> bytes per sector
<real number page not prefetch because of pffw option( suppress number of page prefetch because sector not valid)> /
<page not prefetch because of pffw option> pages not preread for write
<number of unused prefetch> unused prefetches out of <number of started prefetch> prefetch=<number of page to prefetch>
<number> of write behind
<number> of page syncs forced by ill formed writes
<number> of pages retained over close
<unit> transferred / Number of requests
program --> <bytes written into the cache by parent>/<number of write from parent> --> pf -->
<bytes written out of the cache from the child>/<number of partial page written>
