linux下查找最耗iowait的进程

抓哪个进程干坏事前要先停掉syslog
service syslog stop

打开block dump:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump

统计：
dmesg | egrep "READ|WRITE|dirtied" | egrep -o '([a-zA-Z]*)' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head
1423 kjournald
1075 pdflush
209 indexer
3 cronolog
1 rnald
1 mysqld

不要忘记在抓完之 后关掉block_dump和启动syslog:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump
service syslog start

加个有人写了一个perl脚本来处理输出，能得到更直观的结果：

wget http://aspersa.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/iodump

echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump

while true; do sleep 1; dmesg -c; done | perl iodump
