 Description   

Hi,

While reviewing the Aria System Variables, for pagecache_reads the count references pages read from disk, whereas pagecache_writes references blocks written to disk. Is this accurate? I would have expected them both to reference the same structure when communicating with the disk subsystem.

Aria_pagecache_reads
Description: The number of Aria page cache read requests that caused a page to be read from the disk.

...

Aria_pagecache_writes
Description: The number of blocks written to disk from the Aria page cache.

I'm sorry if I selected the incorrect project or if there's an alternate way to solicit changes to the Documentation, it wasn't clear to me where to make DOC specific reports.

Thanks, this is the correct place to report documentation issues. Fixed to use consistent terminology.
