constant disk writes even when docker isn't running. iotop help

[ShadowLeague]

TLDR: I didn't review the settings closely. appdata backup was backing up media folders (arrrgh)

 

Update: I believe this is related to the new backup plugin. Backups with the new plugin are 10x their original size. Their last modified time appears to line up what I observed prior to me doing a restart.

 

I'm trying to determine what is writing files to my disk and what are the files.

 

Could be my paranoia but better safe than sorry

someone suggested running iotop to see what's going on with my server, and here's the output. I'm green to the command... but seeing the ?unavailable? with root running it is concerning (til someone says otherwise).

 

In the interim, I'm trying to stop the array but I'm getting the "try unmounting user shares" message.
