How to monitor disk activity per process?
Asked by
Przemek K.
How can I check which process uses disk the most? I'm looking for something like top, but for hard disk (io) activity.
I've found pidstat from sysstat package, but it doesn't work. It shows no processes.

I have Ubuntu 7.10. Sometimes some program does heavy disk access on my system, which is slowing it a lot, and I want to know which program is the cause of disk heavy hard drive activity.
