What tool can tell me why my hard disk light is essentially on, performing continuous access ?

top doesn't seem to show the culprit since it mustn't use enough CPU.

Fedora 9 i386 if it matters.

Also, is there similar for network ?

Is there a tool which will allow me to track io by process? I can do it by putting a printk in the kernel, rebuilding, and wading through MB of logs, but what I want is a way to find out which process or kthread is writing to my disk when the system is dead idle.

Of course the logging operation causes disk i/o... so it's kind of ugly to use.
