Description Коренберг Марк 2009-07-06 10:46:06 UTC 
There are no important hard drive (block device) meters
1. Drive speeds (Block device read and writes in MB/s).
2. Drive "load average" - so user can see how his drive is loaded -- how many processes need IO operations on drive. Average for 1 minute, 5 and 15 - as for processor.
point 1 and 2: I think every real drive should be shown, not partitions. But somebody wants partitions shown, so option should be. I think for every meter, three sub-meters should be - reading, writing, reading+ writing.

3. swap activity - summary for all swaps.

Comment 1 Robert Roth 2011-11-28 20:25:10 UTC 
I think this report is essentially the same as bug 499725, as iotop can show drive speeds, and also has a total disk write/read, so the load averages could be calculated using iotop. Because of this, I am marking this as a duplicate of bug 499725, please comment if you disagree, and mention why you would like to treat these two bugs separately. Thanks.
