1 I have a very fast Samsung NVME drive hosting my root file system.
2 During backup 'atop' often shows 100% usage of my NVME drive while
3 reading only a few MB/s and
4 several thousands 'Read' ops (during 10 seconds).
5
6 Is this normal or a measuring bug of 'atop'.
7
8 Stand alone timing tests have shown that this drive can read some GB
9 per second.
10
11 What's happening?
12
13 Many thanks for a hint,
14 Helmut
