Hi Satoshi,

I am not aware of any possibility to map the current statistics in /proc
to UIDs. But I might be wrong. We had a script like this a while ago
which did not kill the I/O intensive processes but told us the PIDs. 

What we did is collecting for ~30 seconds the number of I/O operations
per node via /proc on all nodes. Then we attached an strace process to
each process on nodes with heavy I/O load. This strace intercepted only
the I/O calls and wrote one log file per process. If this strace is
running for the same amount of time for each process on a host, you just
need to sort the log files for size.


Regards, Michael
