I’m looking for commands that will give me IO level blocking, caching, speed, etc: anything that will give me the basic answer of, “Is my bottleneck happening on my disk?”

well, somethings, whats distro are you running? how big is your HDD, speed, Sata or IDE? And when does it bottleneck? during a certain app, or the general system its self?
