I do recall sar...  Definitely one of the classic tools for analyzing disk
activity.  It's probably worth some learning curve to attempt it.

I have never gotten terribly deep with any of these tools.

If there's something modern and either
A) brainless easy, or
B) deeply better
That would be awesome to know of.

sar and iostat are the ones I always remember.

I seem to recall sar being a bit risky to use as it might induce a fair bit
of I/O load itself.
