How to remove repeated header from the output of iostat linux command - iostat

Question

I am running following command and getting following output which I am saving into file.
sysstat/iostat -mdt sda1 1 >> /tmp/disk.out &
Outout is following

sda1 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0
But I want to save it without header and datetime also in same row. Could anyone let me know how to achieve this?
e.g
09/25/2016 08:12:01 PM sda1 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0
09/25/2016 08:12:02 PM sda1 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0

Answer 1

I have following script written and though it may need improvement, it worked.
#!/bin/bash
while true;
do
iostat -mdt sda1 1 1 | sed -n -e '1d' -e '/^Device:/d' -e '/^$/d' -e 'p' |sed -e 'N;s/\n/ /'
sleep 1
done;

Answer 2

#jpeiper: this loop doesn't work well for me as it gives the same average value (over a longer period) all the time. Only if you let iostat show several values in the continuous mode it will show you shorttime interval values.
You can use grep but it will not push the info to the logfile until the grep buffer is full, and you cannot add extra information to/between the output lines (which you can with a loop)
I'm still looking for a better solution.
