/blog/mandriva/packaging iotop package: display I/O usage of processes in a top like UI Tue, 18 Dec 2007

iotop is a python tool that shows how much I/O happens on the system. It's a lot more interesting than the vmstat 1 command, since it can display per-process I/O, thanks to the per-task storage I/O accounting feature in latest kernels (commit).

I've upload an iotop package in cooker, but our cooker kernels don't have TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING enabled, maybe we could have it in one of our contrib kernel packages.

Why not in the official ones ? Does it have some performances impact ?

It requires a few task accounting options to be enabled, which might add a performance overhead. We'll discuss this with our kernel team.
