Subject: monitoring swap i/o
Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2009 20:29:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <gkdhar$pgr$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
I would like to be able to exactly monitor programs i/o in the swap
area; 'top' does not seem to be the right tool as processes are sorted
according to the total amount of swap space used, while i would like
processes with high i/o activity (albeit in small amounts) to be
highlighted.
My case is with firefox and konqueror. They stay silently for hours, then
i/o starts, as one can hear that typical noise from the disk and as it can
be checked with 'vmstat'.
Also i would like to locate programs more precisely, to tell which browser
tab, which plugin has triggered that swapping.
Any hints?
Thank you
