A related tool, except for monitoring I/O, is Progress [1].
Imagine that behind the scenes it does something like lsof every second (-m flag) and tracks the progress of any file open by the specified process(es) (-c or -a flags). Works great for copying and downloading, doesn't work for rewriting in-place.
This reminds me that I wanted to modify my GNU Screen hardstatus to call it.
Thank you for sharing, it really does a good job (real progress tracking) that my solution doesn't cover, maybe it will be more suitable for someone.
I'll try to use it myself too :thumbs-up:
