Anyone tried SystemTap with the latest RHEL5 Beta refresh

[Nguyen, Thang P]

For example:

> stap ioblock_script.stp

------ ioblock_script.stp ----
#! stap

probe begin {
  printf("DEVNAME\tSECTOR\tRW\n")
}
probe ioblock.request {
   printf("%s\t%d\t%s\n", devname, sector, bio_rw_str(rw))
}
probe ioblock.end {
   printf("%s\t%d\t%s\n", devname, sector, bio_rw_str(rw))
}
