This matches not exactly the topic but it is sometimes helpfull.
If you've enabled I/O accounting and a kernel >= 2.6.20 (needs
to be compiled with
**CONFIG_TASKSTATS=y
CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT=y
CONFIG_TASK_XACCT=y
CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING=y
)
and sysstat package (>= 7.1.5) installed you can use "pidstat"
command which show's you the processes doing I/O in kb/sec.
