Very nice tip. I always wanna know what happened with my IO early in the morning in my Linux box, specially during cron.daily execution.
I can only suggest doing rotate that log so can be cycled weekly.
Create a file at /etc/logrotate.d/iotop with this content:
————————————–
/var/log/iotop.log {
weekly
compress
notifempty
missingok
}
————————————–

Thanks
