Analyzer vfs-write-volume-fgraph

# Name

vfs-write-volume-fgraph - Virtual File System Write Volume Flame Graph

This analyzer profiles data volume written through file operations across all applications. It captures stack traces during VFS write operations and measures bytes transferred. The analyzer generates flame graphs showing data volume distribution across code paths, helping identify high-volume file writers and optimize data persistence strategies.

orxray analyzer run vfs-write-volume-fgraph -c SHELL_CMD

# PGID is the process group ID or any process's PID within the target process
# group.
orxray analyzer run vfs-write-volume-fgraph -p -PGID

# trace any processes started from the specified executable path.
