Good news, with the new kernel 2.6.18-238.5.1.el5 it will be possible to use iotop.

ive downloaded iotop rpm package and installed but i think im missing something

>iotop
No module named iotop.ui
To run an uninstalled copy of iotop,
launch iotop.py in the top directory


Is a test box so no problem at all on do some test

Have you ever used it? Any suggestions?
