pt-iostats is a read-only tool. It should be very low-risk.
pt-ioprofile is a read-only tool, so your data is not at risk. However, it works
by attaching C<strace> to the process using C<ptrace()>, which will make it run
very slowly until C<strace> detaches. In addition to freezing the server, there
is also some risk of the process crashing or performing badly after C<strace>
detaches from it, or indeed of C<strace> not detaching cleanly and leaving the
process in a sleeping state. As a result, this should be considered an
intrusive tool, and should not be used on production servers unless you are
comfortable with that.
At the time of this release, we know of no bugs that could cause serious harm
to users.
