iotop (C Version) for UNRAID

Terminal Command: iotop-c / User Manual: iotop-c -h or iotop-c -H inline

iotop-c does for I/O usage what top(1) does for CPU usage. It watches I/O usage information output by the Linux kernel and displays a table of current I/O usage by processes on the system. It is handy for answering the question "Why is the disk churning so much?".


This is the high-performance C version of the older Python iotop program (as previously found in NerdTools).

As opposed to the Python version it does not have any road-blocker dependencies and does not require Python.

 

iotop-c has replaced iotop in various Linux distributions - as, for example, more recently in Fedora.

 

Installable via Community Applications

Thanks for making the plugin. Just curious - the repo is binary only? Any reason?

 

It's a command line utility, not written by me, and there's no Unraid GUI code (hence no code in my repository).

It's compiled directly from the source at: https://github.com/Tomas-M/iotop

 

As with all of my plugins, when there's code written by me (e.g. for the Unraid GUI), it's available in my repository.

If it's compiled from open source projects, the source code is available through those respective open source repositories.

Thanks. So either it's mentioned in your repo, in which case I missed it and I apologize, or it would be good to add this in, as info.

 

Again, many thanks for making this plugin!!

Thanks for making this plugin!However,iotop in nerdtools is functionable for now. It seems its problem of lack dependence (libffi.so.7) have been solved🤣

how its different from what we have in htop (I/O)?

 

It's just a different program, that's focused only on I/O, you can compare them and pick what you like better.
