I can reproduce that with this:

terminal 1: $ cat /dev/zero > foo & sleep 10s ; kill %1 ; rm -f foo
terminal 2: $ iotop -b | grep 'cat /dev' | grep -v grep

I can't reproduce it with this:

cat /dev/zero > foo & sleep 10s ; iotop -b -n1 -P ; kill %1 ; rm -f foo

> The first screen is always wrong btw. Even without -b (e.g. "iotop -d60").

I can't reproduce it with this:

cat /dev/zero > foo & sleep 10s ; iotop -d60 ; kill %1 ; rm -f foo
