Running tasks will display a dash (`\-') in this column.
.TP 4
-55.\fB nDRT \*(Em Dirty Pages Count \fR
+55.\fB ioR \*(Em I/O Bytes Read \fR
+The number of bytes a process caused to be fetched from the storage layer.
+
+.TP 4
+56.\fB ioRop \*(Em I/O Read Operations \fR
+The number of read I/O operations (syscalls) for a process.
+Such calls might not result in actual physical disk I/O.
+
+.TP 4
+57.\fB ioW \*(Em I/O Bytes Written \fR
+The number of bytes a process caused to be sent to the storage layer.
+
+.TP 4
+58.\fB ioWop \*(Em I/O Write Operations \fR
+The number of write I/O operations (syscalls) for a process.
+Such calls might not result in actual physical disk I/O.
+
+.TP 4
+59.\fB nDRT \*(Em Dirty Pages Count \fR
The number of pages that have been modified since they were last
written to \*(AS.
Dirty pages must be written to \*(AS before the corresponding physical
This field was deprecated with linux 2.6 and is always zero.
.TP 4
-56.\fB nMaj \*(Em Major Page Fault Count \fR
+60.\fB nMaj \*(Em Major Page Fault Count \fR
The number of\fB major\fR page faults that have occurred for a task.
A page fault occurs when a process attempts to read from or write to a
virtual page that is not currently present in its address space.
page available.
.TP 4
-57.\fB nMin \*(Em Minor Page Fault count \fR
+61.\fB nMin \*(Em Minor Page Fault count \fR
The number of\fB minor\fR page faults that have occurred for a task.
A page fault occurs when a process attempts to read from or write to a
virtual page that is not currently present in its address space.
page available.
.TP 4
-58.\fB nTH \*(Em Number of Threads \fR
+62.\fB nTH \*(Em Number of Threads \fR
The number of threads associated with a process.
.TP 4
-59.\fB nsIPC \*(Em IPC namespace \fR
+63.\fB nsIPC \*(Em IPC namespace \fR
The Inode of the namespace used to isolate interprocess communication (IPC)
resources such as System V IPC objects and POSIX message queues.
.TP 4
-60.\fB nsMNT \*(Em MNT namespace \fR
+64.\fB nsMNT \*(Em MNT namespace \fR
The Inode of the namespace used to isolate filesystem mount points thus
offering different views of the filesystem hierarchy.
.TP 4
-61.\fB nsNET \*(Em NET namespace \fR
+65.\fB nsNET \*(Em NET namespace \fR
The Inode of the namespace used to isolate resources such as network devices,
IP addresses, IP routing, port numbers, etc.
.TP 4
-62.\fB nsPID \*(Em PID namespace \fR
+66.\fB nsPID \*(Em PID namespace \fR
The Inode of the namespace used to isolate process ID numbers
meaning they need not remain unique.
Thus, each such namespace could have its own `init/systemd' (PID #1) to
manage various initialization tasks and reap orphaned child processes.
.TP 4
-63.\fB nsUSER \*(Em USER namespace \fR
+67.\fB nsUSER \*(Em USER namespace \fR
The Inode of the namespace used to isolate the user and group ID numbers.
Thus, a process could have a normal unprivileged user ID outside a user
namespace while having a user ID of 0, with full root privileges, inside
that namespace.
.TP 4
-64.\fB nsUTS \*(Em UTS namespace \fR
+68.\fB nsUTS \*(Em UTS namespace \fR
The Inode of the namespace used to isolate hostname and NIS domain name.
UTS simply means "UNIX Time-sharing System".
.TP 4
-65.\fB vMj \*(Em Major Page Fault Count Delta\fR
+69.\fB vMj \*(Em Major Page Fault Count Delta\fR
The number of\fB major\fR page faults that have occurred since the
last update (see nMaj).
.TP 4
-66.\fB vMn \*(Em Minor Page Fault Count Delta\fR
+70.\fB vMn \*(Em Minor Page Fault Count Delta\fR
The number of\fB minor\fR page faults that have occurred since the
last update (see nMin).
