Hi folks.

I'm sure I'm not alone in having disk I/O being the main limiting factor of his Linode these days now we have big disk and big RAM.

This tool is an enhanced top. If the supplied kernel patch is installed, you can get process-level I/O as well.

So Caker, how about it?

That's no use for us here at Linode though; we use kernels supplied by Linode and there's no loadable module support, as that would be a security risk. Therefore we need to go through caker for such things. :)
