how to tell which process is accessing my disk?

[Matt Price]

hi folks,

i have a vague feeling i've sent this query out before, but i can't find
a record of it.  is there a tool that lets me see what process is
accessing the disk?  i just had a half-hour period where i couldn't use
my computer at ll because trackerd was monopolizing the disk.  i'd like
to be able to fire up a command-line tool that will tell me what's going
on in such cases.  

thanks as always,

matt
