Finding process with heavy disk I/O on FreeBSD


I wonder how I can monitor which process takes out all my I/O bandwith. The only command I know is gstat but it shows cumulative info. Are there any tools I can use to inspect the running processes for their I/O usage? The system is FreeBSD 8.3.


Solution

  • iotop is what you want. Most of linux distribution have a package for it.
