Description Nirbheek Chauhan 2013-11-19 17:53:42 UTC 
Similar to either the CPU row or the network row, disk I/O statistics should also be shown (similar to iotop?). They're just as useful as everything else on that tab.

One of the problems in doing so is that the information needed is only available through root access or the NET_ADMIN capability, so a setuid daemon would be needed to mediate this access. Perhaps access can be via udisks?
