Subject: [gentoo-user] Tool for monitoring what's using the hard drive
Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2008 07:16:49 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1222431409.22042.14.camel@camille.espersunited.com> (raw)

Is there a tool similar to `top` that will tell me what's using my hard
drive?  My hard drive clicks a lot when I don't think it should, and I'd
really like to know what program is using it.  Sometimes it's so bad
that I have to manually power down the machine and restart it...
