I have some high IO usage from a VM, and iotop -o isn't so helpful with a generic userid that I can't translate into what VM it's coming from.
I was hoping I could get some sort of filepath to the process which would lead me to the disk number (and of course the VM ID but no luck so far).

Anyone got any ideas for me?
 
hi,

try checking iotop -aoP. you should be seeing also the kvm command for the VM process and from there you can identify which VM causes the issue

Thank you - as I feared, it was a LXC instead.
That's going to be harder to identify right?
