Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org

Package name: loggedfs
Version: 0.5
Upstream Author: Rémi Flament <rflament at laposte.net>
URL: http://loggedfs.sourceforge.net/
License: GPL
Description: LoggedFS is a fuse-filesystem which can log every operations
in the filesystem (open, read, write, chmod, chown, remove, etc...). The
configuration file allows to logs operations only for certains files with a
regexp.

Would be useful for many things, including figuring out why a laptop's
harddrive is spinning up!

The example log appears to show at least the process name, user, and filename
being accessed on the filesystem:

17:29:35 (src/loggedfs.cpp:136) getattr /var/ {SUCCESS} [ pid = 8700 kded
[kdeinit] uid = 1000 ]
17:29:41 (src/loggedfs.cpp:136) getattr /var/ {SUCCESS} [ pid = 10923 ls uid =
1000 ]

Thanks!
C.

This can be achieved using tools already in Debian.
Install blktrace [1], and try:

blktrace -d /dev/sda -o - | blkparse -i -
