iotop to be in next release of EasyOS

June 22, 2020 — BarryK

I posted about iotop recently:

https://bkhome.org/news/202006/tracing-continuous-drive-activity.html

A very nice utility for anyone who wants to know what is going on when the drive is active -- that you know by the noise that a platter-type drive makes, and an activity LED. iotop will show what processes are responsible for the activity.

It is a python script, small, so has been added to the build, in the System menu.
