milahu / xfce4-hardware-monitor-plugin Goto Github PK

i want to monitor disk usage, similar to sudo iotop

config for xfce4-hardware-monitor-plugin:
device > storage > disk statistics
disk: sda
stat: number of bytes read per duration

problems:
in the config-dropdown 'disk' no disks are suggested
values are always zero, mouse-hover says: -nan B/s

console output:

Unable to parse device stats line from '/proc/diskstats' - regex match failure:

   8       0 sda 32699 26992 2388388 52799 10467 63502 547260 105553 0 106377 160857 0 0 0 0 1293 2504

problem:
xfce4-hardware-monitor-plugin depends on old and buggy libraries, like libgnomecanvas
