How can I show disk IO in glances

JaredBusch

I have a new Fedora 29 install and glances does not show disk IO.

Why not? The old CentOS 7 install does.

So the real solution will be wait for python3-psutil to update in the fedora base repo. Currently it is still at 5.4.3.

[root@nextcloud ~]# dnf list *psutil*

Use the above workaround if needed until then.

Does this help.

You reminded me about glances. So googled it and this popped up

I'm just guessing that pressing d does not work?

Problem is psutil on kernel 4.18+

That git issue above led me down the rabbit hole.

This will work around it:

sed -i 's#fields_len == 14:#fields_len == 14 or fields_len == 18:#g' /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/psutil/_pslinux.py

Good catch!

This should now work correctly without the workaround in Fedora 31

If you want the latest version, installing using pip is the way to go.
