See live disk IO status by using iostat:

iostat -dx 1

The output has many columns. The part I'm interested in for now is r/s which refers to read per second and w/s which is write per
second. To see size per second in read and write see columns rkB/s, wkB/s in their corresponding order.

NOTE: if you don't have iostat on your linux os install it on debian by issuing apt-get install sysstat command.
