hot-applications list displays same item multiple times #20

Closed idnovic closed 5 years ago

idnovic commented 5 years ago

I saw that I have the same item multiple times in the hot-applications list. Is this expected?

Yes, this is expected! These entries differ only in their respective command lines. You may view the different command lines by using this command:

$ sudo iotracectl info -e ionice

Precached not only uses the file name of an executable file, but also uses the full command line with which this binary has been invoked, to perform prefetching. This has certain advantages, like gaining the ability to discriminate things like libreoffice --calc and libreoffice --writer. Therefore duplicate entries are a feature, not a bug!

Good to know. Can you append the command line part to the precachedtop process list? I have on process only displayed as python. I know which process it is but the displaying of it is still not clear enough.

Displayed is only python the full command goes along the lines of python ananicy -p .....
