If you need to monitor processes in realtime, use iotop instead.



top can show total amount of iowait of all processes in wa parameter:




wa, IO-wait : time waiting for I/O completion




In addition with top you can see load average that show average number of running + waiting threads. This metric can indirectly indicate disk problems

  • Is the WA measured in percentages and updated in real time?

  • @fsefs, yes it is. From man pages: As a default, percentages for these individual categories are displayed.
