Source: iotop Section: admin Priority: optional Maintainer: Paul Wise Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 11~), dh-python, python3, python3-distutils, Standards-Version: 4.1.4 Homepage: http://guichaz.free.fr/iotop/ Package: iotop Architecture: linux-any Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${python3:Depends}, Description: simple top-like I/O monitor iotop does for I/O usage what top(1) does for CPU usage. It watches I/O usage information output by the Linux kernel and displays a table of current I/O usage by processes on the system. It is handy for answering the question "Why is the disk churning so much?". . iotop can only run under a Linux 2.6.20 or later kernel built with the CONFIG_TASKSTATS, CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT, CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUNTERS build config options on.
