Identifying disk drive usage

  • I periodically get periods of intense disk activity (on a reasonably fast SAN), to the point where users are impacted. I can see the disk usage pinning at 100% using the Windows performance monitor, but I don't know which jobs/databases are doing this.

    What is the best way to find which process IDs are responsible for disk activity?

  • You can also query the sysprocesses table to check that.

  • Since you have posted in 2000 forum you have options of profiler/sysprocesses/perfmon with sql server stats else if your server is 2005 you have DMVs that will give more details than these tools.
