lm-profiler will tell you the process that is causing frequent writes.
Once you know the faulty process, you will want to relate it to the
application it belongs to. Then see if the application is mis-behaving
or is designed to just write that frequent. If it can be tuned, tune it
else you might want to remove that faulty application.
