Package: iotop Version: 0.6-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I monitored my hard disk write access with sudo iotop -bktoqqqd 5 and iostat -dzp 5 While iotop returns Device: tps kB_read/s kB_wrtn/s kB_read kB_wrtn sdb 1.60 0.00 8.78 0 44 sdb1 1.60 0.00 8.78 0 44 iostat returns 10:42:14 1489 be/4 root 0.00 K/s 0.00 K/s 0.00 % 0.04 % [kworker/0:0] It seems like iotop does not report the write access correctly. I also describe this problem at http://unix.stackexchange.com/q/347634/159562 and it has been noticed by others at http://serverfault.com/q/487418/330169. *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages iotop depends on: pn python3:any <none> iotop recommends no packages. iotop suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
