Who's abusing my SATA controller?
Just read this interesting post. Had to change the read command somewhat to match my dmesg format (timestamps, you know).
Anyway, here's the result:
$ su -
# /etc/init.d/syslog-ng stop
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump
# echo "Wait some time here, just use your desktop as usual"
# dmesg | gawk '/(READ|WRITE|dirtied)/ {activity[$3]++} END {for (x in activity) print activity[x],x}'| sort -nr | head -n 10 | gawk '{print $2 " " $1}'

evolution(7736): 149
pdflush(7670): 126
firefox-bin(7748): 26
gaim(7146): 12
jfsCommit(221): 5
gconfd-2(7114): 5
mono(7200): 4
mono(7199): 4
jfsIO(220): 4
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump
# /etc/init.d/syslog-ng start
# exit

Very sweet little hack. Thanks for the awk-foo.

The number of times I've wanted something like this.
Now I just need to remember it!

On Ubuntu Linux with standard syslogd, this is the proper awk command:
dmesg | awk '/(READ|WRITE|dirtied)/ {activity[$2]++} END {for (x in activity) print x, activity[x]}'| sort -nr | head -n 10
Also notice that I managed to cut out a pipe | gawk by switching the x order around.
Thanks for this awesome tip!

And as a final comment, it dawned on me that this could be somewhat less ugly in perl so here is a hacked up version in perl:
