Also to answer your real question:
DTrace On Solaris 10:
# dtrace -s /usr/demo/dtrace/whoio.d
It will tell you the pids doing the io activity and on which devices.
There are more scripts in that directory like iosnoop.d, iotime.d and others which also will give
other details like file accessed, time it took for the io etc.
Hope this helps.
