thanks. tried to contact redflag, but they don`t answer. maybe support is being on holiday.... !?

linux kernel hackers - there is really no standard way to watch i/o metrics (bytes read/written) at process level?

it`s extremly hard for the admin to track down, what process is hogging the disk - especially if there is more than one task consuming cpu.

meanwhile i found blktrace and read into the documenation. looks really cool and seems to be very powerful tool - but it it`s seems a little bit "oversized" and not the right tool for this. seems to be for tracing/debugging/analysis

what about http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/9/12/89 "with following patch, userspace processes/utilities will be able to access per process I/O statistics. for example, top like utilites can use this information" which has been posted to lkml one year ago ? any update on this ?

is there a modified top/ps with i/o column, or is there yet missing
something at the kernel level for getting that counters from ?

Red Flag(http://www.redflag-linux.com/eindex.html) has developed an
iotop based on kprobes/systemtap. You can contact them if necessary.
