I didn't mean that it does not show any write access.
But some gets lost.
I see this problem in a long term monitoring with low disk activity.

The interactive mode is not useful for this, since its entries disappear.

It seems like iotop does not report the write access correctly.
I cannot reproduce this.

Please try this:

sudo iotop -bktoqqqd 5
dd count=1024 bs=1M if=/dev/zero of=bar
rm -f bar

sudo iotop -bktoqqqd 5
Do you have the same issue in interactive mode?
