Q. Are there any scripts out there for DTrace? To monitor the I/O subsystem in particular.

That's an excellent question. The OpenSolaris community has been developing monitoring scripts for DTrace, using the scripting language "D" which comes bundled with this application, since its release. Around 100 useful documented scripts have already been compiled into a DTraceToolkit, which is available from the OpenSolaris website at: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/dtrace/dtracetoolkit/

You should definitely be able to find what you're looking for in the DTraceToolkit.

The DTraceToolkit is updated as new scripts are developed, so regularly check for newer versions too.
