Anyway to monitor which program is using the hard drive?
I recently noticed that my hard drive keeps running.
I knew that I can use some tool to monitor which program (process) is using CPU resources.
Is there any tool to monitor which program is reading/writing hard drive all the time?
thanks

atop, but it needs kernel patches to monitor disk activity per-process.

More crudely (and without any kernel patches), you can get a general idea of what could be being written to (at that time) with lsof.
