Ever had the case where some process or collection of processes goes crazy and starts writing to disk and you can't figure out why? Yeah, me to. I know you can track how much disk activity there is using programs like iostat and vmstat, but is there any way to track it by process? Right now the only way I can think of is to search for a process that is frequently in the IO or WAIT status and hope that's it.<br>
<br>Is there a tool that lets me list processes and appends that information with disk IO info?<br><br>Thanks!<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div><font size="1"><span style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif; font-weight: bold;"><font style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" size="2">Patrick Wagstrom</font><br>
