top and then use the IO mode, will give you an idea where the issue is.

Subject: iotop (dtrace?)


I've got two systems with a constantly high rate of disk I/O that sometimes seems to be overwhelmed from it.  Before trying to 
decide if a hardware upgrade will help, I'd like to figure out which processes generate the load.

I've found a couple scripts named iotop which appear to produce what I would be interested in, but they appear to require Solaris 
or Linux.

Has someone ported over one of them, or would have a suggestion how to go about writing a custom dtrace script to gather this kind 
of information?

I can successfully run a couple of sample dtrace scripts on these 8-stable amd64 boxes.


Thanks,
Stefan

Linux /proc-based Python script: http://guichaz.free.fr/iotop/
