Linux has always been able to show how much I/O was going on (the bi and bo columns of the vmstat 1 command).

Iotop is a Python program with a top like UI used to show of behalf of which process is the I/O going on. It requires Python ≥ 2.5 (or Python ≥ 2.4 with the ctypes module) and a Linux kernel ≥ 2.6.20 with the TASK_DELAY_ACCT CONFIG_TASKSTATS, TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUNTERS options on.

Linux下的IO统计工具如iostat, nmon等大多数是只能统计到per设备的读写情况, 如果你想知道每个进程是如何使用IO的就比较麻烦.
当然如果你会systemtap, 或者blktrace这些事情难不到你, 但是没专用工具总不是很舒服的. 幸运的是Linux 2.6.20内核以后提供了基于每个进程的IO记账功能,所以就有了类似iotop这样方便的工具.
