fatrace

fatrace - report system wide file access events

monitor filesystem access by process name

figure out why your hard drives are waking up at seemingly random times.

just monitor the current mount point

to only monitor filesystem access in the mounted path /mnt, change into that directory and use the -c flag. -t adds a timestamp and -o writes everything out to a file

cd /mnt
fatrace -c -t -o /tmp/fatrace.log
