Demonstrations of biotop, the Linux eBPF/bcc version.
Short for block device I/O top, biotop summarizes which processes are
performing disk I/O. It's top for disks. Sample output:

By default the screen refreshes every 1 second, and shows the top 20 disk
consumers, sorted on total Kbytes. The first line printed is the header,
which has the time and then the contents of /proc/loadavg.
For the interval summarized by the output above, the "cksum" command performed
361 disk reads to the "xvda1" device, for a total of 28832 Kbytes, with an
average I/O time of 3.39 ms. Two "dd" processes were also reading from the
same disk, which a higher I/O rate and lower latency. While the average I/O
size is not printed, it can be determined by dividing the Kbytes column by
the I/O column.
The columns through to Kbytes show the workload applied. The final column,
AVGms, shows resulting performance. Other bcc tools can be used to get more
details when needed: biolatency and biosnoop.
Many years ago I created the original "iotop", and later regretted not calling
it diskiotop or blockiotop, as "io" alone is ambiguous. This time it is biotop.
The -C option can be used to prevent the screen from clearing (my preference).
Here's using it with a 5 second interval:
# ./biotop -C 5

This shows another "dd" command reading from xvda1. On this system, various
"supervise" processes do 8 disk writes per second, every second (they are
creating and updating "status" files).

-C, --noclear don't clear the screen
-r MAXROWS, --maxrows MAXROWS
maximum rows to print, default 20
examples:
./biotop # block device I/O top, 1 second refresh
./biotop -C # don't clear the screen
./biotop 5 # 5 second summaries
