Yes, i think that's true for vanilla kernels. In the meantime i installed
'atop' which claims to offer per-process I/O stats when the kernel is
patched to include such information in the per-process stats. Unfortunately
i wasn't able to locate this patch anywhwere ...

I'll post an update as soon as i find the patch (and the time to install
it ;-)

  thanks
