Question: is it true that `iotop-c` itself does a near 1 MB/s read from disk? #69

I see this:

And that sounds a bit strange to me. Does the tool itself read so many data from the disk?

I would have used Discussion tabs in this repo to get a clarification, but seems like Discussions are not enabled here.

iotop reads from /proc but that doesn't show up as IO. What is your kernel version?

It's the latest Proxmox (based on Debian Bookworm 12.5):

$ uname -a
Linux omn 6.5.11-8-pve #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC PMX 6.5.11-8 (2024-01-30T12:27Z) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I tried on an older one and the problem is not present, will try to get access to a newer one to see what is happening...

# uname -a
Linux hostname 5.15.108-1-pve #1 SMP PVE 5.15.108-1 (2023-06-17T09:41Z) x86_64 GNU/Linux
