No need many explications, would be very useful a section of I/O disk data.

Hi, so there actually is an I/O disk usage column in the Disk Usage Widget, it's just that you have to size your window wide enough for it to appear. Some other people had confusion with that, but I'm not sure if there's a good way of improving it. Let me know if you have any ideas, and I can reopen this if so.

Oh, sorry, I should be more explicit. I mean a dedicated section with process detail, like iotop. Know if your disk have I/O overload is useful, but in many situations you want know which process is the guilty.

Maybe you can add a column in the process section with I/O this could give you more space and more clean interface.

Hmm, that sounds interesting. And iotop is quite nice too, hadn't come across that.
