(a la top) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, I am looking for a way to find out which processes contribute the most to disk I/O (something like top, but for disk activity). There seems to be no way of doing this (sar, iostat and lsof are no good here), so I was wondering whether kernel provides this information at all. I hope this is not considered offtopic - I don't know of any other forum pertinent to the question. Thank you in advance for any pointers, Simon -- Simon (Vsevolod ILyushchenko) simonf@cshl.edu http://www.simonf.com "Large software projects are like werewolves because they transform unexpectedly from the familiar into horrors."
