if ES data store in btrfs filesystem partition, then `GET _nodes/stats/fs` will return empty `io_stats` field. such as :

```auto
"fs" : {
        "timestamp" : 1586250875508,
        "total" : {
          "total_in_bytes" : 40002251653120,
          "free_in_bytes" : 16212569772032,
          "available_in_bytes" : 16206380437504
        },
        "data" : [
          {
            "path" : "/home/data/cluster/nodes/0",
            "mount" : "/home/data (/dev/sdb)",
            "type" : "btrfs",
            "total_in_bytes" : 40002251653120,
            "free_in_bytes" : 16212569772032,
            "available_in_bytes" : 16206380437504
          }
        ],
        "io_stats" : { }
      }

```

is there any way to fix it?

What OS are you using?

On Linux, these stats come from `/proc/diskstats` and I am unaware of any difference between `btrfs` and other filesystems.

On other operating systems these stats are always omitted, regardless of the filesystem.

CentOS 7/Kernel 3.10 or 5.6  
ES can get io\_stats when using ext4 or xfs but btrfs is empty on same system envrioment.  
here is /proc/diskstats:

```auto
grep sdb /proc/diskstats
   8 16 sdb 586393003 109982 30391265392 2199288329 262632645 14809281 122797050312 689016458 0 60590581 2473033176 0 0 0 0

```

it seems read/write stats are no zero but es not display.

Hmm interesting.

Can you share the full contents of `/proc/diskstats` and `/proc/self/mountinfo` on your system?

Ok, this is reporting the major/minor versions of the device holding `/home/data` as `0:42` and `/proc/diskstats` doesn't contain any information for such a device, claiming instead that `sdb` is `8:16`.
