Please include these applications in the shell or at least create an 'app' that makes these useful tools available.

I have processes accessing disks that aren't supposed to and I cannot trace the problems down if I cannot tell what they are doing.

Install entware-ng from App Central. After that you can use opkg package manager:

Code: Select all

opkg update
opkg install iftop
opkg install iotop

# iotop
Could not run iotop as some of the requirements are not met:
- Linux >= 2.6.20 with
- I/O accounting support (CONFIG_TASKSTATS, CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT, CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING)

Indeed. Sorry, I didn't check. I assumed that if package is available for my platform, it should be working.

It's 2023 and as a new user I'd also like this to be supported in the kernel. It's quite impossible to find where disk activity is coming from.
