==========

in upper vxstat output, should we think data write on vol3 is 361997811blocks every 10s,or just (361997811-361990085) blocks every 10s.

The values shown are those since volume manager started (boot time) or since you reset stats (using "vxstat -r"), so yes if you subtract the 2 values representing time since boot, you get the writes written in that period.
