Drive statistics

Does Linux have per process disk monitoring like windows does?

On windows I can see how many kilobytes are read/written by a single process.

A text based program does not constitute an answer to this question.

Why not? From the sounds of it iotop is perfect for you. It is to I/O activity what top is to cpu and memory resources.

Maybe temporary fix but if you come up with a gui.. it should be more user friendly
Edit: Found iotop, doesn't show total kilobytes read or written.. only the speed.

iostat -k

But not GUI based.

Thats not per process... but good command!

I am getting the feeling i need to program this myself.

doesn't show total kilobytes read or written per process.. only the speed per second, having both would be nice.

OK. I couldn't test it since i'm a s winxp machine just now.

I find it hard to believe there isn't something that does this.

What is the name of the windows equivelent?

In windows you can monitor IO Read bytes / IO Write bytes and some more IO stats using the process performance object in perfmon.
