Not sure about drilling down, there might be a plugin for it, but dstat was really useful for me recently in troubleshooting this type of problem.

yeah it looks like dstat_app plugin might do what you want...

Hi all,
How do I work out which processes are writing/reading to my disk - say, the
last hour or so, maybe the top 10 in terms of frequency and volume.  I'm
looking at sar, iostat, lsof for instance.  On my system monitor I have
regular, periodic spikes on my disk that seem bigger than normal. How do I investigate this sort of thing? Also interested in any recommendations on
reading material for performance tuning and monitoring (security) of
linux-like systems if anyone cares to recommend them.

Thanks,
Daniel
