You can also use zcat which is in /usr/binso you would get this command
zcat var/log/system.log.0.gz | grep "I/O" Better still, just use zgrep on all the gzip-compressed logs:
zgrep "I/O" /var/log/system.log.*gz
In the background it's probably the same thing, but this way is less typing :-)
Putting zcat first is just a different kind of Useless Use Of Cat --
