I have received perfmon counters from customer site. We noticed unusual values in \COMPUTERNAME\Process(PROCESS_NAME)**IO Other Operations/sec**.

The best explanation for the counter I came up with is:-

The average rate at which the process is issuing I/O operations that are neither read nor write operations (for example, a control function). This counter counts all I/O activity generated by the process to include file, network and device I/Os. This counter is equivalent to the perfmon counter Process\IO Other Operations/sec.

Here (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490957.aspx) its description does not appear.

Who knows what this counter (IO Other Operations/sec) actually counts? Which system call may cause this counter to be increased and how it can be monitored.

We are working with C++.
