2005-10-27 Thread Iain Buchanan
Hi all, is there a top-like utility that can tell me what processes are doing the most disk reads/writes? Sometimes my disk will go crazy, and my system slow down. I usually know its updatedb, or something similar, but sometimes I have no idea why. Any ideas? thanks, -- Iain Buchanan <[EMAIL
