Package: iotop Version: 0.4-2 Severity: normal When using the -b parameter which should enable the batch mode every value is reset to 0.0 . Adding other parameters like -P, -a, -n, -k do not change anything. Saving the output of iotop without -b to a file (containing all the control characters) works fine.
