A system administrator is using the atop utility to monitor a Linux server experiencing slow application performance. The administrator suspects an I/O bottleneck is the root cause. Which key should the administrator press within the interactive atop interface to display detailed disk activity statistics and sort the processes accordingly?
The correct answer is d. In the atop interactive interface, pressing the 'd' key shows disk activity and sorts the process list by disk usage, which is helpful for diagnosing I/O bottlenecks. Pressing 'm' sorts by memory usage. Pressing 'n' sorts by network activity. Pressing 's' shows scheduling-specific information for processes.
