sysmonitor@orcus: A disk traffic monitor would be nice

No system information as I do not think it is relevant to this feature suggestion

Issue

While this is by far my favorite system monitor on Cinnamon, I regularly miss having a disk traffic graph in order to get a full summary of the system load.

I do not know how much Cinnamon extensions differ from GNOME Shell extensions, but back when I was using GNOME, this Shell extension did it quite well. Perhaps you can reuse some of its code?

Otherwise, from a quick look, it seems to be parsing /proc/diskstats, which is where I would have looked for this information myself. The format of this file is documented in the kernel docs.

Hi, sorry for not replying sooner. It is on my todo list, I'll definitelly implement disk monitor (and also temperature monitor), but I can't give any ETA. I haven't had much free time lately, I'll get to it when I have some more time.
